Oohhhh i'm jealous... I almost bought the new Tiger last year before deciding on the VFR... The Triumph dealer in Brum is next to Hein Gericke so if i'm passing its a struggle to find a reason not to drop into either of them! Enjoy your test ride and hope the weather is kind!

How did you get on? Is it more fun than a barrel of monkeys? :D When I'm allowed a bigger bike, I REALLY want a Speed 4...in Yellow.

Cheers, Tom Unfortunately my grandad passed away on sunday morning so I had to cancel my test ride as I spent the day with my parents. I'm booked in again in 2 weeks so I'll have to let you know how I get on. Good choice on the Speed 4, that is one handsome machine. bcstudent, loving the front room setup! :notworthy: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I could keep my bike in the living room! You'd be right! My last girlfriend loved the bikes in the living room though, at least she *said* she did :) No bikes indoors at the moment. I'm in the process of rebuilding my RGV250 as a Pepsi replica. The intention is to keep it indoors for good. As soon as the painter stops messing me around I'll be there.

mic_VR 3 Posted August 2, 2011 Thread resurrection! New toy now the 'rado has gone for those who are interested..... you'll note it almosts fills our tiny garden but better than having it on the road eh? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Nice one, best sportsbike Ive ever owned. Induction noise to die for, like a little lambo. Best mod is putting the forks level with the yolks. With standard geometery they tend to fall into corners but doing this make is much more linear. Oh and a nice end can. I looked at loads before going for the Carbon Arrow. Amazing quality and looked the biz. Here a pic of it fitted, it retains the original heat sheild. Thats an evotech tailtidy as well. It was this video that made me want one, 40sec in ohhhh!!!

mic_VR 3 Posted August 3, 2011 Very nice mate, is that a bubble screen as well? I'm currently on the look out for a screen and some tank pads. I hadn't really thought about bringing the forks level to the top yoke, I've not really ridden it far/hard enough to be changing anything yet but I did get a little caught out on Saturday by just how quick it wants to turn. Had to stand it up a little in some corners as it just wants to go quicker and quicker. Think of an apex and you've already hit it! :lol: Just want the weather to improve so I can get out on it a bit more. Loving being back in the saddle though.

coullstar 0 Posted August 3, 2011 Its the only vehicle that Ive bought brand new and they were doing a promotion where I got £675 of accessories. Most would have gone for the bling, I went for workshop manual, oil, screen and a few other bits and pieces. The screen made a big difference. I did the fork mod after a few months and it made it much more stable in the corners. Tracked it a few times as well and could not fault it even in the rain.

mic_VR 3 Posted August 5, 2011 Nice bikes guys, although shame to hear about the Superduke Graeme..... was a tough call between one of them and the Daytona.... couldn't get the Superduke down the alley into the garden though. wy906 - I wanted a yellow one but the wife say no :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
