and they said the sportsbike sector was dead.....................

I know how wrong can they be . It may be shrinking in terms of units sold but its the strongest it has ever been in terms of performance, technology and desirability and long my that continue

You still happy with the RC8 Perkles ? or are all these new cutting edge models and test rides starting to get to you

Popped in to Tamworth Yamaha for a nosey earlier today just as these pair were being off loaded

They tell me they're the first dealership in the uk to have them

Yes very happy to be honest,It did take a while but I gelled with it at my last track day
As a road bike it's brilliant very comfy but you can knee scrape on it easy and it has bundles of torque.Its old tech and under powered compared to the new stuff but who cares.In a few years time when the current crop become 2nd hand I will swap for a nearly new bike
If I was rich I'd have an il4 and a twin in my garage o and a v4

Better get the lottery numbers on Perkles cos that sounds like a good plan.

You only need the v4 o and a flat six

I bet they've chucked my Tankslap cards seeing as I didn't buy the Tracer

They would be the 10 best cylinders money could buy

I know it sounds very good in reviews etc , but it just doesn't float my boat I'm afraid.

This looks lovely IMO
