It's been a while. A long while, but as ya'll know once bikes are in your blood they just can't be let. Suppressed but not cured. Spent a few years on the dirt side of riding life which I still enjoy occasionally. However I'm keen to blow cash I don't have on a beautiful 'land of garage' road bike. I say land of garage 'cos I have now fully carpeted my garage with heaters and TV, a truly great place to socialise and be with ya toys i.e. MY room
The days of trying to disprove lightspeed physics have gone as I just know how many moments I'd last with something like an R1. The throb of much torque appeals more. Looking at Harleys as such - well yes they do look great, but I just can't get my head around them. The el-cheapo deals at the moment on Suzuki Boulevards are very tempting as a weekend play cruiser.
However looking at the massive engine of the Yamaha MT-01 (I felt the vibe from one at idle a while back) just does something way down inside. Anyone else got experience with the MT-01? What about other suggestions for a forty something year old, self confessed bike addict that's been in denial for too long?
