Yeah Jools - I checked out prices of Aprilia RSV's and I could have got a 2 or 3 year old one of those for about £2K less than the cost of my SP2 plus the repair bill ! 748's were also plentiful. But they just didn't 'do it' for me ! Trouble is now I've seen all you guy's bikes, I can't help feeling that I want an SP3, SP4, and an 888 Strada (and Jasper's SP5 will do nicely !). Better sell the kids on ebay . Happy riding - I hope to get out on mine for a good thrash at the weekend. Matthew |
