Do you ride a motorcycle?

[MrCC]

Awesome weekend around the Peak District, thet was 2 weekends ago when storms Boelo and Austen hit the north of England! Wind at 50MPH up on the passes and spots of torrential rain, it was challenging at times but still alot of fun! You could tell the hairy parts when the silly chatter stopped and the comms went dead silent

Test rode a couple of bikes today. I'd gone to the dealer with the intention of coming away owning this, a Triumph Daytona 660.

But I didn't like it at all. It's smooth and comfortable and balanced and feels very "mature".

But that's not what I want. I want something thrilling and exciting that you need to take by the scruff of the neck. Something you can feel you're really riding.

So then I tried this, which is very much the opposite of the Triumph.

And it was hilarious. Fun to ride at any speed, even at 30mph in sixth. So I came away with lots to ponder.

So for the time being I'm still a KTM owner.

I see that everyone at EICMA had on display a 400/450cc sports bike. Reminds me of the days when 250cc and Max Biaggi ruled the world. I still have his poster in the garage on the Aprilia. It’s quite interesting how in few short years every one jumped on the bandwagon.
I guess the younger generation have now a massive choice to get into the first bike on A2 licence.

Yes, I noticed that too. Even Honda are at it with their new 400 fours.

I find it all pretty exciting as I love small bikes. I haven't had as much fun on anything as I do on my RC390.
