    Too big for me and I don't need 180mph top end.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    LOL Jez, if I were you I'd stick to playing with circuit boards and maybe build myself a mobility scooter. It seems as though that is what you require.

    Just comes with a undertakers phone number on the tank and a bone crunchers number to get your spine / sholders and wrists re aligned after a 30 min ride ( If you can last that long )

    You'd know... after buying something with similar performance and handling to a mobility scooter

    Mmmm... very interesting. You've clearly never ridden a high performance sports bike from what you have just said. Wrist numbing tingling vibration that kills after about half and hour. All of your weight on the same wrists killing them even more and then severe neck pain from the riding position. Zero torque so when you pull away from the lights you are still slipping the clutch fifty feet down the road and in the case of Ducati's, a bike so fixed on the road it will barely change direction. Of course you know all of that because like messing about with circuit boards, you are an expert. At least that is what you continually tell everyone. And if a 30 min ride is the max for a real bike, a sports bike must surely only manage a ten minute stroll down to the high street as that is where most of them end up; at the local bike showroom.

    Cheers John. The sound is very enigmatic with Screaming Eagle pipes like mine or Vance and Hinds alternatives but then you listen to music through a hi-fi system so you would be in a position to appreciate the sound. Others pretend to listen but sadly don't know how to.

    Wish I was fit enough. Enjoy your head-turning lovely machine.
