    Have always wanted to try on an RC8... Love the aggressive styling.
    I would rather be shot out of a cannon, than squeezed out of a tube.

    I first rode one about 10 years ago and really liked it but at the time I was a one bike guy and it just wasn't practical. Small tank and no fuel gauge were things I didn't like. They do handle well. Very planted and precise and more nimble than their size would suggest.

    I spoke to a salesman in the Harley shop and I said it would be a good idea to buy one and put it in the shed as a collectable. He said that would be a waste as they were such fun to ride. I nearly said "like a real bike" but there were too many big hairy guys in black tee shirts about to make that a good idea.

    Nice... Full power version I assume @Shearer?
    They sound lovely and give a bit more midrange if you put decent mufflers on them. Watch the bendy bits holding the front wheel under braking or hard cornering though , the weakest part of an otherwise impressive machine
