As some of you maye have heard me mutter, I've been shopping around for a >250 cruiser for when I get my full (booking in tomorrow now I found a bike). Well today I brought myself my new bike.. Take posession in the next few days once I get the money, and the owner gets the wof, reg etc sorted, but went out and saw it and took it for a small test drive today. I'm in love I tells ya. :love:

1997 Suzuki VZ800V, 22,000 on the clock, its in absolutely MINT condition. The seller said he normally only rode it during summer, never been out in the rain, etc and garaged it the rest of the year and given the condition I believe it.. It looks good in the pictures but even better in person.. It bloody sparkles I tells ya.

The seller said it had truckloads of torque and boy was he right.. hell of a step up from the GN250 and Its going to take me some getting used to, but omg its so great!

Anyways see you all on some rides soon on my new pride n joy.

Not quite the Guzzi Cali that you wanted, but I'm sure it'll do for a very long time.

Now you just have to knuckle down and pay back the bank so they can hand your arse back to you.

Allow me to congratulate you on behalf of the antisocially-bashed hippies of the site Lias - full licence and full sized machine!

Well done that man!

Now, get ye away and intimidate some hippies on it for us :)
