Just wondered what bikes people had before they saw the light that is the Mille:thumbup

Mine was a fairly short track …

Honda XR75 when knee high to a grass hopper … aged about 10-11
Then a Susuki TS125 off road only (at about 13)
Passed my test at 24 and got a Honda VFR 400 NC30
Then CBR 600
Then 2 years off 2 wheels and the mille arrived about 4 weeks ago

Yamaha MT01 (1700)
MV Augusta F4 750
Honda VTR 1000 Firestorm

Still miss the MV F4, might still buy another one, will get the 1000 next time round, but this will be a weekend sunny bike this time round, the last one didnt like the cold and salt. Will keep the RSV, still think its as good (maybe better) than the MV, its just 2 very different bikes with their own magic!
