MotoGP:




Still not 100% on what to do with my bike, do I go Streetfighter, or the Rossi MotoGP?

If I go the streetfighter look, I'll be spraying the bike pearlescent purple with a smaller R6 tail section, twin chrome headlights, carbon fibre and a lot of polishing!

Just can't make my mind up one way or another, one day I think street, the next MotoGP!

Paul,

Have you given an R6 a proper run, i.e spent a couple of hours on it??

You'll find that as a person with a more 'fuller' figure your wrists will start to ache due to the amount of weight you're putting on them. If you had a stature such as Spally (i.e 8 stone wringing wet )I wouldn't mention it, but it has to be a consideration when choosing a bike.

HTH

Are you saying I'm fat? only joking mate!

Already got a bike mate, bought it back in September - Yamaha FZR600R Genesis. Must admit, you are right both the FZR and the Suzuki GS500 I learnt to ride on does play havoc on my wrists, I just put it down to not being used to riding!

Thought about using a R6 tail as it's nice and sleek, where as the FZR is chunky

Funny that, I heard you were up for a brain transplant but they decided to show mercy on the rest of us

Yep, but they reckoned that you were in more need of a brain to try and control the brain stem outbursts
