I don't think the popularity was planned, but one could suggest a correlation between the superior intelligence and decision making skills of University students and the obvious decision to invest in a superior marque.

*Hahaha - big P/T - I like models from most manufacturers, it just so happens I want to try the veeeefour character of an RC45 derived engine with gear driven cams, comfy ergos (spot the risers), good fuel economy and excellent finish. Uglier than the new model, but a better engine IMHO*

I hear ya - I laughed inside my helmet like a maniacal loon the first time I properly cracked the throttle on my VTR1000 - all the while the hairs on the back of my neck stood up at the visceral awesomeness of the planet being spat out behind me, the front pawing the air, and the deranged bark of the Yoshis as the tacho raced towards the red line.

Damn I'll miss that hairy-chested brute with its massive übercarbs.

Back to the yellow thing - I think the VFR shall be known as the "Transcendental Banana"

(Was planning on putting our friend, the blue, flute playing Transcendental Lord Krishna somewhere on the bike - I gotta have SOME divine protection from marauding motorists)

I have negotiated to keep the Öhlins and my brand new Avon Storms from the VTR - unfortunately that all costs (tyres on and off, buy and swap OEM shock - the SMC crew is too busy with exams to call on, so WWH is doing it. Ouch at workshop costs )

Pick up once my settlement comes through and I sell stuff/work my arse off to make up the several hundred dollar shortfall.

*Anyone wanna buy stuff? A westie car perhaps? A BMX? Anything, please?? SMC vegetarian sausage sizzle to Phund Phurrballs Pholly?*

(c'mon Shingo - another unamused emoticon at my great punnyness!)

Anyhoo - gotta go, exams to study for and sit...







*Oh, and the good lady is threatening to sell it if I don't finish my LLB with these exams*

[klyong82]

If the ohlins fit my fireblade I want it.....

[2wheeljunkie]

I dont remember you ever saying my bike is sexy with the yellow.......I have heard it from Ehab though...he has even riden it ....told me that he didn't even need to change gears as he would have on a 250......

I'll buy the alto off ya. I want a new car that uses less gas than my current one.

My lame-o-meter(tm) never hit the red zone whilst reading your post, so you're safe this time.

That's no westie car! That's a Tauranga retirement village car!

(And it will start appreciating in value as gas prices climb more, so I'll keep it for now...)

"...Phund Phurrballs Pholly..."

Damn - I was trying soooo hard...too hard obviously...

As for loving the transcendantal banana, I'm pretty sure I will - I've got it for the long term, as it's slightly more sensible than the 'storm, but still has heaps of engine character plus reliability = cheaper to run and comfier too.

I will sorely miss the big twin's stonking power delivery and sound though - will go in to WWH tomorrow and pay for having the Ohlins removed and fire up the red beast one last time before the towies take it away to the nasty insurance man (I still own the gas surely?!?!)
