Older vfr 750/800 are more fun/lighter than the newer ones, considered sporty ish compared to the 2007 onwards (850?) which are quite high at the front and a solid 30kg extra if not more. Not a wheelie machine though, sounds like he wants a mid 00's GSXR 600
BrickMan-
He’d said how much he liked the Bandits, so GSXR600 wasn’t far off the mark.
Forgot to mention the sketchy csb bit of yesterday, relatively flat sharp blind left-hander, oncoming car came out the turn far enough that I had to move over, so having slowed and unable to see round the corner I was bemused to exit the curve and see a full size tractor with trailer cutting the hedges... driving at me, on my side of the road.
Fortunately slow enough and with enough room before the next oncoming car, but it was certainly a brake-check moment.
Was glad the asshole that did over 50 through the village had already passed me on the straight a few yards before.

Ahaha for sure!
Friend who works for a particular cobbler is currently bike-less, but loves the 80cc wheelie machines more than the 400-odd beast he bought and sold shortly after. I can see how the kits are more for him, than me.
But all those Made In Japan stamps on every remaining piece of the bike makes me want to keep as much as possible. Shame some things like indicators and rear lights have already been swapped out for shit.
I started sewing the new seat cover, had a play with added foam pleats. Will see how it turns out.
