    Bucket list bike

    Some dude stopped in at Jack's for a coffee today. He was on one of these...

    I heard it come by and just had to go have a gawk at it and a wee chat with the rider...

    Noice Boike! If somebody'd give me a heap of money I'd get one. But I'd keep the gixxer as well...

    I got pretty interested in one of those a wee while ago. Until I sat on it.

    Yea, I think exactly like you. The NC30 are awesome bikes. Once I get my full I plan on getting either a VFR400 and later a VFR800 Interceptor.

    I would LOVE one of these...

    In addition to the current stable of course (is one still classed as a stable?).

    I like everything about the 848 apart from the front. I dunno what it is, it just looks like it's squinting to me. The wheels are sex, the ass is sex, the profile is sex, the sound...well that's even better than a triple pity about the front. I suppose it would grow on me though

    You can sit on one? I can only get one foot down on a stupid lean

    That 848 would do the trick....Grouse machine.

    If I wasn't a FOB I'd love a Duke. The only sound I prefer to a Harley is that of a Duke - sex in sound

    I find the HD sound really irritating, doesnt have a tone, its just loud.
    But, his to his own.

    That's why I lost interest...plus the fact that my head felt like it was ahead of the front wheel...the gixxer, on the other hand, feels like a body suit.

    I'm not the only one then.

    Took one for a test ride, I'm a bit above average height (6'1") and even when I sat on it, I thought the saddle was a bit high. Then I left for the ride and it has such a short tank and such low clip-ons that I had to do some uncomfortable curve with my back to actually fit (I've only ever riddern sports bikes and because of my height, I'll have a straight back.)
    a ~40 minute ride later and I was glad to get off the thing, with the suspension as hard as it was, it caused all sorts of judders and pains to my spine.
    Might be fun on the track, but fuck me if I want one for the street. So I ended up going with something more mellow...

    I felt the same on the 675, a mate of mine has a ZX6R and it feels like riding a pencil. The CBR and Gixxer fit me the best
