Lump lingered last in line for brains,
And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...
I didn't know what dukes were all about until I had a go on one. If I win lotto this weekend, it'd be "hello 998R!".

Me toooo!Originally Posted by MR
HAHAHAHA no i'd personally get a 748r or 998 if i suddenly came into some money. Just because i love v-twins and the only problem i find is that other than expensive i-talian bikes there is nothing untill the 1l class and then they are expensive anywayOriginally Posted by Blakamin

And *Quasi's* was the 750 SuperSlow! Oh, the shame of it. Three hundred and fifty extra cc's worth of pretty noise, soot and nice warm thighs (well, all that petrol must do *something* when it combusts - physics, innit?)Originally Posted by Blakamin
And all he could afford, after that, was a nasty funny-coloured Kawasaki. The poor man must hardly have the balls to raise his head in the presence of Real Bikers, these days.
Oh dear.
I just remembered.
Yours is the 600, isn't it.
I'd start being polite to 250cc two-stroke riders, if I were you...

yeah... gotta watch those looks you get riding that 150 tooOriginally Posted by jrandom
[edit] thats right...i forgot you're pushing it these days!
Sorry dude, I'm immune. The 150's not even *meant* to be a Proper Bike; it doesn't really come into the discussion either way. It's more like a scooter, or a pushbike, or a monthly bus pass.Originally Posted by Blakamin
Anyway, don't you know that digs about my FXR are the KB equivalent of Godwin's Law? It means the thread's over, and someone else has lost the argument...![]()

Well, there was, of course, the somewhat unspoken question of whether or not Ducatis are overpriced crap.Originally Posted by Blakamin
But I was really only quoting the usual form of Godwin's Law, there.
And anyway, only a Nazi would cast aspersions on a bike smaller than his.

So what was this thread about again?
Ah that's right, the Triumph 600 and the Bonneville.
Having not ridden either can't comment on personal experience. Have read good things about the improvements Triumph have made in the past few years. I think you'll find the Triumph much like the Duc, it's a little more expensive than the Jap equivilent, the features and performance are quite as good, but it's got personality.
Would probably help also if you gave us some insight into it's intended usage. % of commuting, % of fanging it, % of lesurely open-roading, etc.

So what's this about 150cc riders????

If we are talking statistics - perhaps my past experiences could be likened
