to have something around 200kg and 100hp.
That’s mental heavy. You can get sub 180 for 100bhp easy. Get a street triple. Done.
Here’s something to keep you off road.

Well in part, a smaller lighter bike is what I want. I will gladly lose 50hp for 50kg, to have something around 200kg and 100hp. That is more than enough and will be slimmer and easier to get in and out every day.
However. It all might change as the days get warmer and the mileage goes higher. I’m without the Blackbird until I pick it up again from the unit, so I am trying to see how I feel in its absence.
So far? I feel great. Out on the lanes with a dodgy carb setup that might actually be running too rich now instead of too lean, struggling to stay upright in rock-solid deep chalk ruts.
Managed to only kinda nearly fall off once. And twice got the boots stuck on the wide beartrap pegs when getting a foot down.
Getting excited to have a van to chuck the Sherco in the back of. It’s languished for a few weeks now and needs running.
