True, I like your thinking Biff.... Choke all the smurfs ... then we will really know their colours!! I do not think I would go for a 636, even though I have heard such great rapps about them... CBR600r is nice and easy for parts, fairings and xtra goodies also..yes I am coming over all common like...But, well.. Not really worthwhile spending big pings at this stage on a bike...I will wait till I get a fat wage for those games...or at least a whole lot more riding experience/Kudos points...Go the HRC bikes huh
