I realise this post has gone a little off track, but I'm thinking, is the SP a little harsh for me? VFR800 as another option? I know I shouldn't, I should just go with the SP as that's where I was heading before I had a bang on the head and got the HD.
I'm going SP all the way, a mate said it's a hard ride and no fuel range, but come on, I only got 100 out of the NC tank on a good ride so is it going to be much different?!
Hopefully the HD will be gone by this time tomorrow...roll on the new year!

It's been collected!

Right,
Now sort out a good SP, and then go your own way, full of the joys of spring, for you would soon tire of a VFR800, as you already have a good ride to work bike.

I don't find them hard, but rather single purpose, getting better the faster they go, which is why I love the slow 400s :-)

Matt,
I can't reply to the "for sale or wanted" section.
I too found the SP1 top heavy and it was too tall and heavy for me, but you are a lot bigger than me, so I don't see a problem.

Once on the road it was such a delight, single purpose, but if the revs are kept above 3000rpm to reduce the transmission snatch, then I cannot find fault.

Dave.

Hmmm, nice.

Lovely bike mate.

what on earth is that blue thing????

That'll be his C90, they're proper lush!! Best selling bike Honda ever made, including variants.

mmm???? not for me, remember my Dad having one though

I'll have you know that C90 flew through it's last mot with no issues. Plus it's only done around 10k miles!
