    Yeah - know that story - I hung out with the 'Platform Director' for VRSC bikes for a few days. That was veeeeery interesting.

    Was pointing to the 'the one they thought about' comment from the Yamaha man. Willy and his crew thunked plenty.

    What a stunning bike! TAB performance pipes and tuner. This thing moves, it stops and handles well with the 240 rear tyre and the noise from the pipes is nothing short of hot.

    Sweet!
    Choice one! Thanks for doing business with us. Sorry I wasn't there to deal with you in person. Glad you're loving it, they're a gem of an engine eh!?

    I tried ambiguity, farted about and ended up procrastinating.

    They certainly are. Nice balance of torque and hp giving great response over a big rev range. I'm suitably impressed.

    Your "virtual" feet might be bigger and catch the breeze a little more than my size 9 ones.
