Whilst the bonnie was in for service took the R out for an hour. Really enjoyed the torquey beast. I think I am in the minority not liking the gold and yellow ohlins but came across the eight ball with the lush brushed tank. I even like the fairing! At £14k is it worth twice what I paid for my bonnie, nope! Rode home happy with my current bike and grinned all the way home! Think I will go tiger and keep the bonnie!
Not fond of the fairing myself but the brushed tank is lovely. 14k is a bit mental, well unless you have that kind of money ... could almost have 3 of my Thruxton's for one of those
