Plan A is buy something else to ride, like a low mileage 2016 VFR800X Crossrunner in perfect condition with loads of extra's and perfect for the job.. I think i'd like to spend £6500


Ohh Mac I have that exact bike for sale, transfer the money over and send a carrier down :D :D :D :beer:

Just been to Falkirk yesterday to collect two second hand wheels I bid for on Ebay thinking of polishing rims or all.

Not my cup of tea polishing. Looks ok when fresh but make sure you get plenty of polish in to keep them looking good...

You could of course laquer them when done but that will dull them down a bit & if not done properly might look a bit cack...

Just my opinion of course, they are your wheels & your bike do what you want to it... :wave:

Mac, that is the answer to all your prayers.

It's Teal, and that the one colour that has eluded you in your quest to own every type of storm.... AND......... you can't fall off it.


Good find Kev

No teal will never darken my Cave doors ! Never had an Orange one or a buttercup yella or the late bloo... :Tongue1:

Trike ? May as well get a car...

True would be a pain to keep on top off polished, so powder coating may be the way to go, but what colour with red guess black, but fancy a change?
