Dave's ( tart 2 ) Xerox was picked up first thing today.... Loaded into a van .... Never to be seen again :(:(:( He's been itching for a change for a some time now :( and what with all the drama's and extortionate servicing costs... He just got fed up with it all really :o he is now the proud owner of a Honda CBR 1000 RR5 with a yoshi pipe... Bye Bye Xerox :(

Bloody hell - some people on here don't half change their minds and run with it straight away!

Good luck on the new blade though.

I can't keep up with what's going on over at Dave's

Think he must either

a) Be loaded
b) Be a compulsive shopper and is one of those "I have to have" types
c) Owns a bike shop

Good choice with the RR5 though. There's so little between the latest 1000s. They're awesome!

Iv got to admit, im leaning in the same direction. :sing:

One more major problem or someone makes me a silly offer and its history, my love affair with Ducati has been short and complex :mad:

I had a few problems with the RSVR which they sorted a week after buying the 999. I too almost went for a new Honda CBR1000 RR5, but can't break away from the V-twin experience.

I'm sure you can't feel special on a rice burner no matter how good they are.

Well I've got to say that when I took the CBR6RR on the track I thought it was great. I been outon the road now twice on the 996R. It bloody fantastic:D
