Well he seems a bit mental, and I like mental, but he'd need to be much better looking for me to be interested, and possess some ladyparts. I'm old fashioned that way :)Quote:

Worth a trial ride if you get a chance. And you could have had a shot on this one, but although Mrs. P is down your way (Portsmouth) from Monday till Wednesday, she's going in the Civic :(
Very popular with Parisian nut jobs. Last time we drove through Paris, there were swarms of these passing us on all sides. They look rather strange when cornering, the way both front wheels stay on the road while leaning. But the set up obviously works.Quote:

However the SV motor does appeal to me... I've just had a look and the Hyosung is very rare...so almost impossible to buy...
Maybe I should get yet another Hornet 600 and get the seat cut down as I did in the past... the Hornet is a blast, it's so good I owned it twice...:lol:
When I owned the Hornet it was impossible to keep to 70 though..... 120 is so easy...
