Err.......has someone nicked all the plastic bits, or are you putting 'naked' pictures on this forum..... :))

Nice machine, just needs a few fairings to keep the wind, rain and passing kamikaze bumble bees off in the Summer.  They hurt!!

Nice. Always wanted to get my bike licence but swmbo would never allow it. Tbh I'd probably end up killing myself as I could see myself getting too excited with the speed.

Mates just bought one of these:

Motogp edition. Looks proper stealth with the Matt colour panelling, etc. and the akrapovic exhaust are just stunning to look at and sound like a banshee when on a run.

Both CBR and R1'a are really nice bikes.......just got to the point where i cant have a sports bike anymore because it hurts me too much  :'(

This was the old one and just wasnt riding it anymore in the end as it hurts my wrists and back too much.  Then again always thought id loose my licence on that!

Nice triumph hope you get a lot of use or of it.

I had fireblade 2001 model good fun but a couple of friends have given up the fast bike and replace with the older British stuff, I guess it's a case of getting old or growing up. For me I used the monies from the sale for another car, but now having very sore hands daren't risk it.

My mates still got his 998 Ducati and complains about his wrists when riding slowly I just complained about the noise of the v twin when I was following,  :))
