Ratser Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) What model was it ? 2008 and in black with 600 miles on the clock.When did you buy it and how much did it cost ? Purchased in 2009, £5,300Good points ? Jumped on this from the Hornet, and it was night and day. This thing screamed to go faster, keep revs high and tipped itself into corners. Very quick off the mark and took a lot to unsettle it. Even looks mean.Bad points ? Sports bike, so not the comfiest after a couple of hours.Would you get another ? Damn straight. Fantastic bike. I certainly couldn't have moved onto the Blade without having had this thing first.Any other comments ? Just such a great bike. Although I did change the exhaust system to an Akrapovic one which was mega loud. I actually miss this bike at times. Wish I never exchanged it.http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u31/Ratser/Bike/IMGP0734.jpg Edited October 18, 2011 by Ratser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask where you got and how much you paid for the Akrapovic exhaust?? I am seriously tempted by one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
