Interesting reading, I only own one Japanese bike, it's a 'V' twin, 250cc, and VERY involving to ride-to say it has character is a gross understatement-it's feisty as fcuk. It's also VERY expensive to run, you have to change engine parts every 500 miles, it does between 16-18 mpg, and the fuel cost's about £8.00/gallon, and I LOVE it.

GP250's rule-on track at least.

Must go, got to load it on the motorhome, we are racing at Cadwell all weekend-bring it on!
