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 wayJust a shame about the Boris initials

I'm not interested either
However I agree 'mental' is good ..I'm totally certified that way.... believe me

It's quite good, stylish looking, but I don't rate the quality of finish that highly. Probably be fine if you kept on top of polishing, she leaves that chore to me. And by the time I've finished doing the 'Blade, I'm bored and only give hers a cursory wipe (ooh-er). And the end can is hideous, if it were my bike that would be the first thing in the bin.
It is quick, really flies from the lights, due to that SV motor. Top speed is about 120, but anything over eighty you will struggle to hang on - Above that speed your body is acting like a parachute. The most comfortable of all the bikes she's owned, and though it's big (long) and pretty heavy, the weight is low down and very manageable. Anyone over about 4'6" would find it a doddle.
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.Has anyone ridden the MP3? the 500 version looks quite nice..

I know what you mean Steve about the quality of finish... I'm really not 'into' a lot of polishing of bikes. I'm a Honda fan mainly for the reliability and thier finish which, I think, is second to none...
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...
When I owned the Hornet it was impossible to keep to 70 though..... 120 is so easy...
