Am from the Wirral ( Between Liverpool and Chester )
Love my 851 - Tried out a 916 but felt like I was hanging out over the front wheel. The 851 riding position is not as radical, and the sound of it gives me goosebumps still.
Have fitted high level Termigoni exhaust to improve looks / sound but have kept the standard pipes.
Tried out a Firestorm a while ago and thought it was a good bike and felt secure - got home and went out on the 851 , it felt like a 250 - really nimble compared to the Firestorm.
I can't imagine ever selling her - what else would you get for 2 thousand quid?
