    I think I've decided to sell the new SIII. I've never really gelled with it after the initial (awkward) ride on the shitty tyres and I fucking love the old green one. Offers on a postcard, please... B

    Fair play I take it that your older Speed III hasn't given you any issues and is still running well. I cannot really comment on the pre 2011 bikes as the only other one I have ever rode was a 2001 model.

    I really did like the 2011 though as it was one of the best handling bikes I have ever had.

    I was thinking the other day if I'd made the right decision swoping my 08 for a 12.
    I enjoy the 12 but wander if it was worth the extra cash.

    Basically the way I feel. (Plus there's a little bit of truth in Dunc's insightful post). :rolleyes:

    Me too, pal - I do the cooking, remember? Thing is I haven't tried selling the green one as I absolutely love riding the fucker - something that I can't really say about the red one, never really settled with it. (Plus the green one's been blinged to within an inch of it's life and most of the bling won't fit the red one!) x
