This is my current bike
Edit: I envy you your black wheels! These things look disgusting about ten minutes after I clean them. Looking back (both physically int his photo and metaphorically) I think my favourite - and probably lightest thus best too - wheels were on my old K1300S Motorsport. Forged grey'ish things, hid the dirt lovely.
Is that the factory Akra? Does it burble burble popopop when off throttle down steep slopes such as mountain passes? My little PipeWerx thing does, which was amusing in my normal UK riding, but after a dozen or so Italian passes it got a bit annoying!

Yes it's the factory Akra it's pretty quiet tbh. Not much louder than a standard can. It's a whisper compared to the twin scorpions on my firestorm.Snap!

Hm I haven't ridden through London for many years. Isn't it an absolute nightmare? They'd have to be literally (almost literally) serving Michelin star food to get me to partake that terror. Back in 2010 I quite enjoyed making my way through but I suspect it's a lot worse now, especially with all them delivery drivers on CBTs/hopes and prayers.
Reminds me I need to find somewhere like this outside of towns
.
Edit: Apologies, here's my bike:
New Oberon slave cylinder on the 1290 GT which will hopefully prevent future air intake in Albania/UK roads.

I passed my Mod 2 at the beginning of the month so I sold my YBR 125 and picked this up on Monday. 13500 miles on it, 2005 model, got it for £2k.
I love it so far, the exhaust is a bit loud, keep getting looks and making dogs angry as I'm riding through town.

650, nice. I had a mildly tuned (Stage 2) 1200 for a long time. Great bikes.
I used to be a member of SUKBOG (Suzuki UK Bandit Owner's group). Wonder if it still exists...

Perfect exhaust for it as well!
Learnt my lesson and bought one with an exhaust already on.
Beautiful, and the correct colour scheme.Here is the new bike
That's what I was looking for when I changed my ZX10R but couldn't find one local, so ended up with the S1000R instead.
How are you finding it?
