Erm... the ones I loved...

(in no order)
675 (I hope!)
NC30 (of course)
GSXR slabby
both SRADs
996R and 848
1000K5 stealth
RGV
RS350 hybrid (but didn't finish it, arse)
R6
TLS with 2-1 M4 pipe
RD400E
TDR
TZR in loctite colours
350F2
125LC
TS50X (jacked up, 70 kit etc)

The ones I hated...
RG500 (great engine, handled like a bad shopping trolley, too much else on the go at the time to sort it)
GSXR400 (gorgeous but gutless)
R1 (lovely but shat it's gearbox twice and set itself on fire once so it had to go)
TLR
Thundercat
750K7
FZR600
AP50

(was torn between love and hate for some of those in the latter list!!)

Loving it. Bizarrely (for a completely different engine layout) it feels like a much quicker NC30 delivery-wise. Goes very well but happy to poddle along. Superb brakes, sounds amazing (baffle is out on the new can), goes very very well but a little stiff.

Superb.

Not bad at all. Triumph dealers are pretty good with test rides...

Now had mine remapped to suit the Arrow can and going well. Sounds superb :grin:
