Think my street triple will be going sometime shortly also never really gelled with it love the motor and dare I say it sounds even nicer than a v4 :( but certain things starting to get me now, lack of fairing poor finish on engine powdercoat flaking and the fact that I've never been able to get the suspension dialed in properly have gone from underdamped to overdamped always feels nervous and skittish on bad surfaces not very confidence inspiring. I regret chopping in my cb13 for it now which despite being a lot heavier I could hustle along on a lot quicker on the road . I know there like marmite but going to road test a 2 yr old vfr1200 with the intention of trading the triumph in.

What was it that made you to decide to get rid off it matt :?:
It's the first bike I've bought that I now realise is the wrong bike for me . Bought it on an impulse after reading all the reviews and a short road test, as well as the above niggles mirrors on the bars steering lock cam chain rattle on start up etc just start to grate me now time to move it on.

I'm thinking, lose the C90, replace with NC30. :up: (It's a win win!)
