I fancy changing my bike so I popped into the bike dealers for a quick go on these...

CBR1000RR

Christ this thing is fast, did'nt feel mega rapid though but it showed some scary speeds very quickly. The suspension is way too firmly setup for our bumpy roads but it was fantastic when I found some smoother roads it just seemed to leap between corners the pick up was so quick. Nice but 6 out of 10.

Hornet 900.

This one was like stitting in an old comfy chair you could ride around on this all day and not get sore wrists and rear end, still rapid though again it just leaped between corners but not as quickly as the blade. I felt the front end a little bit tucky in some of the slower corners the wide bars take a little bit of getting used to but I really liked this one it was so easy to ride. Outstanding 9 out of 10.

I am used to a CBR600 Sport but the extra power of the bigger bikes is very addictive I could get used to that!!!

Nice

An old work collegue of mine has a Hornet, he loves it.

Nice bikes.

only got one thing to say about Blade..............................INSURANCE!!! :eek:

Look at the Triumph Sprint ST - nice bikes.

Kawasak ZRX 1200,torque power and very moddable,..................quicker than the Hornet,on a par with the Fazer 1000 maybe real world riding is quicker,quicker than the Blandit 1200,although there is a little bias in me! I prefer that type of bike rather than the head down a.r.s.e. up plastic crotch rockets as they are more comfortable and cheaper to insure! check out the web site
