I was in two minds about getting one when i was looking for the storm, but on looking at the forum the "What fell off yours today?" thread killed it for me!

I test rode one.... was feeling OK until the road got bumpy ----and then it was all over the place - dropped speed A LOT and took it back to the shop..!!!

Even if you are any more than "sedate" it would need some work to get stability - I am no speed freak but that was SCARY...

Interesting discussion moving on what happened to the Cagiva Raptor? I always fancied one of those and seem to remember it used the TL block

that's interesting that. when they were about 6 grand and that place in Romford ? were doing interest free I was seriously thinking about a 650. all the reports said they handled so well it was possible to keep up with bigger sportier bikes?

never tried one though?
