I wondered when nickyboy was going to spot that devil can ! Love the yzf 750 All these bikes are from an era when style mattered All the new stuff lacks something today Apart from the 1098 and RSV4 But V4 engine ain't my thing ------------- Forza Aprilia Racing Http://www.forzaaprilaracing.co.uk |

Loving the FZR600. I had an earlier model with the round lights in the early 90s, in the proper Yamaha colours - white and red. Went for it instead of the CBR pubic hair (everyone old enough had one). Mostly because I wanted something different. Which explains, probably, why I now have an Ape, I suppose. Scary front end, you were never sure if the front tyre was going to hold on when the speeds got up. Fond memories of trying to push down on the bars to make me feel better going round ton+ corners ha ha. It was never going to make a difference but the common sense of youth told me it would!! Oh and welcome to the fold.

You have to adjust a bit to a twin But once you get used to it It's the best engine for the road IMO The are awesome bikes I would never buy another 4 cylinder again Unless I needed a cheap commuter bike ------------- Forza Aprilia Racing Http://www.forzaaprilaracing.co.uk |

| With you there Ed. Have two twins a V and a flat. They are so much more relaxed to ride. No need to wring it's neck to go quick(ish) No way back once you get bitten!! |
