Yeah But phil More people are buying Honda Leads than any super bike Icon_WTF Remember when I got knocked off last year and the nice man from Carol Nash brought me one down as a courtesy bike. I asked him what they are like to ride and his response was.......... Ride it like you've stole it and you might get home tonight Icon_maxi_scoot You go everywhere flat out throttle pinned back slip streaming milk floats

Of course there are. They are the kind of bike where you simply can't buy last year's model because it is half a bhp down on power at 16000 rpm.

The people that buy them wear racing leathers with hump-backs on the road. Nuff said? Very Happy

What we'd probably refer to unkindly in the UK as "pizza delivery bikes" ( phil can I have a large one mate) Wink Differant horses for differant courses..............
