Will be interesting to see, for me I've probably tried harder on a DD bike than I ever did on a 150hp bike, maybe if I dropped another 10hp I'd try even harder lol ;)

That's a massive assumption, Phil! ;) :D

OT but am I the only one laughing their t1t$ off at a bike called "Mong"?

:D No laughing at my Mong :p

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I'm still in the 'stay on the 583' frame of mind at the moment, but then I look like an ungrateful little sod for not riding my new bike ;)

Zimbo...it probably doesn't need that much spending, no. I'd just like to get her painted nicely and looking good for next season as well as any minor engine work that wants doing again :)

The two bikes are very different to ride. I'm sure I was slower on Mong first time out than I am on the 583, but that's probably just down to me having only ridden the little one all year. I'll keep thinking about it!

You're lovely you are :D

no point in getting yummy paint jobs..............might as well put the cash on a fire.!

But....but...I want too :( Nothing flash, just get the scratched/broken bits patched up and everything sprayed one colour.

women... all about make up :D

;)

I do understand you Lucie, before being a race bike, it's a Duke. It must look good :)

Is it not the sound and the ride that makes it good .?...not how it looks....or is the look only for the Gucci class...LOL...........

Resprays are for loooooooooooooooooooosers....................crash damadged scratched hard core racer bikes are for winnnnnnnnnnners....hehehehe

:lol: Still don't think I'm gonna be winning much, scratched or not to be fair!

Tonio...I had ideas for making it look a big shocking....white everything with maybe some pink flowers :D That may be a bit over the top though ;)
