Prob nothing as its not due for an update for at least another year or so.

Ahhh bikes.....so addictive but yet so impractical. Im still in 2 minds on whether or not to upgrade from my vfr800 to the cbr1000 or just get another car.

I've kept my VFR800 and bought an Accord Euro!

However, I was looking at a Repsol blade in Peter Stevens yesterday, and pondered the joys of owning a genuine performance bike!

Maybe in 18 months or so, but I'm keen on a Hayabusa as well.

Cheers
