i put my 2p's worth in there.
did i hear RC30 mentioned - i have to say that if i was offered a new 1098 for a swop of my RC30 then its bye bye honda.
The RC is a fine bike, its fast, exciting, flatters you, looks and sounds great, but it has its faults too, oil needs to be kept an eye on, gets hot in traffic, ok its a pure race bike but to enjoy on the roads it can be a pain. but when right and on the right day its untouchable.
Its also priceless picking of superbikes at weekends who assume its just another NC30 - till around 70mph and it starts to fook off
