Thats quite a good sum up Olaf. I bought as my 1st bike a K7 GSXR 1000 and although really easy to ride etc just didn't feel like anything at all. I like my old gal of a 2003 plate racing. Lovely looking bike and handles enough for me plus I get a sense of having gone out for a ride.

However, having 120 to 130bhp is still too much power. Gilo has a 675 Triumph which I always thought wouldn't be powerful enough but to be honest it goes well enough. Obviously it doesn't have the looks or prescence of an Italian thoroughbred (but neither does he even though he thinks he does) and it sounds like a hairdryer (even though he's put an aftermarket exhaust on it which he thinks makes it loud I couldn't hear it) but its ok as a 2nd bike for a ride down to the shops and back.

Aldo, you are right.

This is my golden age, I ride what I want, when I want, having a missus that does not mind is a great help. :thumbup

When I get old, I hope to look back & bore the great grand kids with various biking adventures, some of which I have done yet.:yeahright

I think biking is still considered cool ,if only from a "that's dangerous" perspective.
My daughter rides a 535 vigaro but wants a car now as it easier for work.
But I expect in years to come she will a buy some chrome laden HD if I cant drag her into our sport bike way of thinking lol
