  • CBR600F3 got through MOT without any advisories. Put a nice longer-length period-correct ART can on it. Much more torque, and so far better fuel economy too.

    Still need to sell it. Not just because it’s too fun (fast), because my wrists are getting bad and hurt after a day riding.

  • I need to get a road bike again. I miss it.

    Bikes are just as expensive as cars 2nd hand here though. Edit: look as expensive in UK now!

    After having a blackbird I don't think a sports bike is for me, but maybe a tuono 1000. Now to just find some cash!

  • Now we're talking.

  • Ooh, didn’t see you coming back to the tarmac!

    What about a Yamaha MT10 Proper rowdy engines, even if the bouncy bits are a bit shite.

  • I'd never own a Blackbird again. Incredibly big, heavy, and just too smooth for its own good.

    The little CBR is everything the Blackbird isn't - light, nippy, easy in traffic, and infinitely more fun at sub-100mph speeds with a lot of feedback.

    The ART can has really improved torque and ride quality. No more obnoxious scream from the exhaust, and it will lift in second (and probably third) before you realise.
