So who in the Manawatu scene is gonna be the first to test ride one?

Well, if you can arrange the test-ride - I'll give it a fang! Me thinks it would be pretty freaky sitting in a bike riding position but having such a wide front end. You'd be taking way different lines through corners...

Maybe we could shoot down to TSS sometime as they are stockist's and better still they have demo's too.

Have you ridden a four wheel at all/much? Apparently they bare more than a few similarities to ride.

Driven my suby a bit!

Yeah, had a few plays on quads - farm ones, not fun ones.

Crikey, it could get expensive this track day lark. Seriously tho, I really loved getting the Tiger out there. It does lack the short straight speed though as the rev limiter (10000 rpm) is reached very quickly damnit.
