• Removed the Blackbird from marketplace while I reassess everything over the weekend. I’ll enjoy the DR for a few lanes and then decide how to move forward.

    A smaller lighter faired sports bike is what I’d like… but I lose nothing by staying on the Blackbird. Now the XJ has sold I have a bit of breathing space until the van arrives.

  • I don’t think you’ll go any slower on a faired 600, you just lose some gearing flexibility. Why not go naked? It feels faster and you still have all that grunt up to (and above) motorway speeds.
