    Oh, I probably would have gone for the Super Enduro if I could touch the blo*dy ground on the thing! Hahaha. Man, they're tall. Not a good thing to raise that centre of gravity too much! But it also didn't have the weather protection of the adventure either - not so good for commuting, I thought.

    Your not bloody wrong there ,it'd have to be the tallest bike I've had the pleasure of sitting on !!! If I had a spare $23000 it'd have a space beside all the other RC8's in the shed (I wish).
    As mad as a spider, and twice as hairy !

    Gidday Dazza, I see you've got a super duke. They're a fun little bike to! I took one for a run before I got the adventure. Probably a good thing I didn't buy it, I wouldn't have been able to keep the front end earthed! (Oh, and it wouldn't have handled the 4x4 tracks very well either). How does the engine run on it? Any roughness? How's your clutch and starter motor holding out?

    Cheers

    Gidday back @ ya. 28000k's on & it's all going well.Fitted the Akrapovics fm. new and have no roughness issues, no issues with the clutch,starter motor is good, have had it cut out several times @ the lights when it's hot tootling around town, this is when the starter has made the odd horrible noise but not an issue for me @ this stage ! Your dead right about the front wheel to ground ratio, heaps of fun, did get me in trouble with the filth before Christmas though in town (dulp) as the officer had finished "talking" to me, he did state nice wheelie though, I'm abit of a show off I spose ! Would love an Adenturer aswell to have in the shed for me & the little lady to cruise around on, tour our wonderful country, one day in the not too distant future.
