Go on........... have one :D

Gorgeous bike, but as has been mentioned - make sure that it doesn't provoke back pain, otherwise you'll stop taking it out.

(Sneaky the way they have copied the Triumph Daytona 675 headlamps)

Al :D
If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works .....

Well...

For some reason I wanted a black one...I've always wanted a black bike (they had just stopped producing them when I bought the R1100S)...and they could give me a discount on the S version...(I have ordered pipes and hugger to offset that)

So, for pretty much the price of an HP2S I'll be sat quietly eating porridge...probably behind bars somewhere :roll:

I shall just have to continue my strenuous regime of excercise!!! And perhaps get practising on MotoGP again...

After initially feeling sick, I'm now starting to smile... :hello1:

That said I just read a piece in PB that said the Ohlins on a Duck were not full spec (not sure what that means as, unlike an R1200S, it has all the knobs and dials).

I have to add that I don't actually like the Digital Dash, and couldn't hear the engine at speed (though the induction sounds good beyond about 6K), but the new pipes should sort that.

And now the wait... :?
When the going gets weird...

performance bikes were doing a comparison between 848,675,GXSR750 and CBR600RR, interesting - I bought it to read the specials and the mz racing article. Sure you can guess but they reckon the GXSR750 is the winner, on looks and feel character when riding I would go for 848 (if I could afford one) or 675!
