I know little about motorbikes, but this really caught my eye today..
I suppose because never really liking the looks of speed bikes, this "looks" like a motor bike to me..

These retro style bikes are appeal to many, especially those who remember how bikes used to look. The nostalgia of the bikes of their youth with the benefit of modern materials and build processes = reliability and no oil leaks!
I’m quite fancying one of these as an addition to the stable and a more laid back alternative to the ZZR. Went to the launch at a local dealer back in ‘05 but it never pushed my buttons back then.....

Erm, that looks very very fast..

Not that fast really by today’s standards. Its rated at only 90 bhp ( compared to the ZZR’s 200) but it’s quite torquey with bags of lowdown grunt for a really ‘lazy’ ride.

Not as Lazy as this 1731 cc V twin ooodles of torques. and a 25" seat height - fine for my short arse legs
