I've tried to read as much of this novel as my attention span allowed....... and just have this to add.

If you have to ask then you probably will never get it. For some people life is about reaching the ultimate limits of everything....... it's a mindset and is relative - be the best looker, the best performer, the best you can be.

Some people feel differently and say they are satisfied with what they have, others feel satisfied trying to get to the next stage.

Yes I know some of you say life is short and it's not worth the risk........ well honestly, can someone please explain this to me. How is life short?? It's the longest bloody thing you will ever do.

You could be right will see . I want the bike to handle as good as it goes then I wont have to buy a later model . Will work out cheap to do mine up than buy new & still have to do that one . Old owner of my bike has got his K4 full sorted Full AK20 kitted front end , Ohlins steering damper , Fully adjustable Ohilns rear shock High speed / low speed compression damping etc . Took it for a hook yesterday & it was Mint . Mine is the best you can get out of the Stock gear but after riding John's bike makes it look abit poor . Shaun has brought alot of X Race gear for K3/K4 so if you after anything special let me know & see if he's got it

There's no doubt in my world that the Gixxer K5 is the daddy of litre sprots bikes at the mo. But I wonder what Honda are about to release? A blistering new V5 WSB based machine?

My guess is Honda will release the world's best machine. Possibly dripping with electronic and mechanical bling. It'll then be heralded as the worlds best machine by the bikey press. Sprotbike purists will say it's boring. Then within 18 months Yamaha will bring out a new and improved R1, and it'll be an absolute animal of a litre bike. Biting as hard as a ZX10R, but more controlable.

Or sprots bikes will go out of fashion, and naked, trick, litre + machines will be back in vogue. Oh - and scooters will be cool again.
