Is there any information whether they'll actually have a good full on show like ITV's, instead of what the BBC had before which was either not live, or just *lights out-race-flag-next show*
That is very true, and I do know someone who has bought that bike and likes it very much! However the problem is that I'm 6ft 3, and it's just too small for me, as are most superbikes. My idea of a great ride is one which is a few hundred miles so a touring bike would suit me down to the ground!
I'm basically wanting to spend very little because I just can't afford something fancy (I have those dreams over the GTR1400), so I was looking at the F650. It's only 48bhp so restricting it wouldn't hurt it too much. And it has a nice big fairing to keep me snug.
I did look at the Honda Transalp, however, the extra 20kg and extra cost in buying one, and insurance just doesn't square up to the BMW.
At one point I was going to jump for the ZZR600 until I considered the true size of that beast, and the insurance cost. Cheap bike to initially buy though!
It's truly mind blowing when you've had such a diabolicle choice of 125's to use, and then you pass, and you're faced with this SEA of yumminess!
Confession: Today, on the quiet, I too did my bike test, the A2 category. Managed to pass with only 4 minors which pleased me to no end! So now, i'm having some celebratory tea and cake, and looking at the bike I want next. A restricted BMW F650 (probably the ST "funduro")
Woop woop!
(if anyone else had to serve 2 years on a 33bhp machine, what bike did you choose?)
OT: 1.03's looking tasty! Although time will tell whether it'll actually be propelled up towards an LFS/rfactor level. And whether I decide to part with X amount of pounds. Internet folk are poor/stingy.
