A couple or 3 very recent ones, i got my bike out the weekend and to give it a start as it's sitting at the rear of the garage waiting for spring to arrive!

Not a BMW, in fact there’s a distinct lack of horsepower here…

:exitright:

 

[CaZ4]

Love that Ducati 696! That is one great looking bike. I was just reading about the new 1100! :evil:

Looking forward to some better polishing weather..!

^what'd you think of the KTM? I've never personally ridden one just heard good and bad from reviews?

 

[Batesyboy]

It's an amazing bike - very aggressive.

I tried a 1050 Speed Triple just before Christmas and really liked it - I love the styling (it was white) and it had great Arrow cans (no baffles) so sounded lovely. I found it a lot smoother than the Superduke but slightly more lazy in the corners... the SD just "gets on it" early in the rev range and is great through the twisties.

I know I'm going to regret getting rid of it, but am looking forward to lots of top down action in the Z4.

Give me a couple more years adn I'll get aother bike when I hit the big four-O, and I think a Speed Triple will probably be top of my list as I think it's the whole package in one. I think by then, KTM will be doing a 1200cc Superduke which will probaby scare the crap out of me..!

 

[bmwmike]

The S3 is due for a complete overhaul too though, its a torque monster, but they do need to catch up to the other nakeds in terms of bhp! It is a bit larry in the corners, but I think it adds to the character and type of bike it is

8) Wow some awesome bikes! Richard G how do you find the R1? It's the same model as mine, managed to get out on it for the first time this year!

 

[MonsterZ4]

This is my current bike. I have owned this one for 3 and a half years. Its a Ducati 900 Monster with Hi-level shortened pipes and custom fuel tank.


I also owned this one for a while, but part-ex'd it in to buy my classic car. It is a 900 SuperSport and was a lovely bike to own, and for me, one of the most masculine bikes on the road.

The red SuperSport has gone, and joining the Monster is this, picked up today!

The TL is great. The ride home in the wet and cold wasn't so great, but what a beastie!!!!
