That Black and White RVF looks the nuts. :thumbup: I could seriously through that around. :biggrin One of the most comfortable bikes I ever rode was a Mini Blade. I just seemed to fit it so well. Just not quite enough power but fun. A 600 lump in one of those would be good.

It must just be me but I think the TLR looks like it fell out of the ugly tree into the hideous bush, and liked it so much it went back for another go!!! The butt is too big for the rest of it. Yuk. My Bruv has a TLS and that is a much beter looking thing for me, still wouldn't swap the Storm for it though.
Agree with the RVF and RS Marty. All those little race reps are lovely, CBR's, VFR's, but they would disappear up the crack of my butt never to be seen again, and let's be honest Marty you could keep a bakers dozen hidden!!!!

Have to agree with KevL, the back end looks like it comes from another bike, much like the hayabusa, just fuggly. Still want a go on one one mind!

CB 1000 Super Fours have aged well in my opinion, their build quality is second to none, if anything it was over engineered and a little heavy but a great bike all the same
