    Yeah I felt like it made more sense to wait. Plus I get back onshore the 20th Feb so I can wait 9 days.

    I knew I wanted my first big bike to be "special" and "oot the wrapper"

    Test drove - Panigale S (far too jerky at town speeds), ZX-10 (good bike), S1000rr (too wide) all before Honda had announced the SP. As soon as it was announced I knew it was what I wanted. I love 600RR to bits and it just seems like the natural step.

    Sure was, I only took it out for an hour but through the city and that it was terrible. Almost impossible to drive under the sped limit after jumping off the 600RR.

    Open Road (duel carriageways) Its mental quick but I just wasn't head over heels for 20K base price.

    Ecosse still have one SP left (non-abs). And Padgetts have both versions available. Just saying ;)

    Alright Bob, they told me on friday that the lad who took the non-abs backed out and got an ABS from Chester.

    I would give them a shout if your still after one.

    They are probably keen to get a deal done on it so you might get good numbers from them! Tell them I put you onto it and want a free quick shifter for mine ;)
