Thanks for the feedback guys, it's been really helpful.
Scaramanga - it IS the grey one!
I just love the colour and those red 5-spoke Marchesini's... Ooh, Suit you Sir!! My riding is probably similair to yours by the sound of it, so I don't think I'd notice the benefit of the 'R' over the 'S' either. And besides, the money I'll save in not getting one can be spent on those lovely pipes!!!
The 'S' doesn't come with Termi's but I think I will have to get some anyway - it'd be churlish not to!
It's nice to hear that the 'death-stand' flip up device has finally been ditched too - heard far too many stories of bike/ground interface due to that stoopid design.
I was surprised that the servicing costs aren't nearly as horrendous as I'd been lead to believe, it makes it even more difficult to talk myself out of it now!
Even the insurance isn't too prohibitive. (Must mean I'm getting old or something!!
)
I'll keep you posted as to how I get on.
