I'm definitely going to get involved in that stuff, I'm not planning on using the bike all year round (hopefully) and it will be my little project for me to tinker and toy with
It's in for a Major Service on Sat and a full checklist to be carried out to make sure she's running in top condition!
I'm going for the 'Streetfighter' look which looks very similar to this one, in fact this is the one that is pinned up in my room for inspiration

Nice. I've tried naked bikes but they just don't suit my riding style, struggle to hang on!!!

There was always a sweet point of about a ton before the wind becomes very noticeable.

Just a quick update
The car is still dead, fuel pump has gone boom so I'm trying to source a new one for a reasonable price
so this is my current mode of transport
We went on our first long distance trip together this evening from Stoke to Portsmouth, in total 220 miles. Due to me being on a work course for 5 weeks I needed to transport all my kit on the bike, which led to some Tetris style packing
The baggage weighed in at a monster 55kg, held on by two bungies and a cargo net
I must admit not the worse I've seen, however, I really need to pull my finger out and purchase some long term storage solution

I might know someone who can help with the fuel pump mate. I'll get his details...

I must admit I got some funny looks going down the motorway
Also to add, my chances of having children has halved as I kept getting crushed between the bag and the tank every time I braked
EDIT: If you can that would be great

Looking at a 'slimmer' summer suit, possibly with green strips on the top e.g.

Someone I worked with for a while had a Hornet for a while, and absolutely raved about it. As a long-distance tourer they are slightly compromised, but in every other way they're supposedly great to own, being razor sharp and very responsive. And fairly easy to own and work on without a big fairing, I bet?
I went through a bike phase in my teens, but four wheels took over for me and I've never looked back. That said, I do like the look and styling of most bikes: from fully-faired sports bikes to streetfighters.
If I had to pick a favourite, I'd probably go for the classic Suzuki Katana, but, like a lot of Japanese cars, trying to find one that hasn't been horribly modified nowadays is the devil's own job. I can't remember the last time I saw one that hadn't looked 'spoiled', which is a shame because with the little angular fairing they had I thought they were a glorious looking bike.

They are a very easy to work with and it is a very responsive and fantastic handling bike to ride. I try to do as much work as I can to it, but my motorcycle mechanical knowledge is very limited
