Yeah, I was a bit unsure after my off in Wales but I thought, "Why not"? The cash was sitting around in the bank not making much interest

Buying this should be a better use of the money as it will be an appreciating asset

Have had to update my security though, which is not cheap

Mind you, I'm tempted to take it to the September bash

Bash being the appropriate word in your case mate! That last one must have given you issues with the old noggin fella, thats a knackered old air cooled V-Twin your cafe racering not a V4 Gp bike.

For that price you would at least expect new tyres - those wombles are bald!

Quite right mate, for that money I would expect some HiD lights, small indicators and gel pads in the seat. If there was a bit of carbon wrapping going on then all the better. Classy that's me all over!

It's probably not quick enough out of the corners so a new, smaller front sprocket would be a good idea

I'll have a look for one on the wemoto site

Hope they're not too expensive :eek2

You might want to consider the warranty, and running costs.

I couldn't find any urban fuel consumption figures, either, so it may not be as economical and fuel efficient as your Firestorm.

Yours is even better than most now you made it lighter!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
