    Cheers Rob. Always here to help mate.
    We did have words but once she realised getting rid wasn't on the table she was ok.
    They like a little test now and again.

    Let us know how you get on with that, Steve. That's the only bike I fancy as much as the Fireblade. A friend's just bought one and he loves it. Gorgeous bikes and what a sound! Top effort!

    Your right sideways, not as fast as a blade, but I love the v twin roar.
    Can't see me buying the Akra at £2400!

    You have to do a full report on how it is compaired to the blade mate. I still love the look of the RC8, and the parts on it are class.

    Wow, what a stunning looking bike, it could have come from the pages of a Judge Dredd comic ! Well that will stand out on the road, there no doubt about that. Enjoy and give us a full report.

    Been down to see the bike today.
    Really nice.
    There was a bit of paint coming off the clutch cover and the a bit of blistering of paint on the belly fairing near the exhaust.
    I am having it.
    They will service it this week and replace the clutch cover and fairing!
    Well pleased.

    Very very nice!!!
    I would stick a bit of orange rim tape on the wheels myself as a bit plain for my liking and you can never have enough orange :D
