Hi All,
Like a lot of folks on here had lots of bikes VFR's, Fazer, TDM, Bonnie (old) even an old Norton Commando. A couple years ago I inherited a Piaggio Zip 50 which despite being dangerously slow was great fun to zip (I use the term loosely) about on, I then found a Kymco Super 8 125 on Ebay which I sorted and replaced the Zip. I had two bikes at this time a one year old Honda VFR VTEC and the Kymco, guess which one got ridden every day? I needed to blend the two, traded in the VFR and bought a new TMAX (Mk 3), much to the horror of all when I turned up at Willingham Woods bike meet on it. I, however shrugged off the abuse as I know how good this bike is - It's a gem and for me ticks a lot of boxes. So much so I'm seriously considering a 530.
Hope to get involved in this forum, My partner and I used to run a bike touring business so have toured much of Europe, especially doing battlefield tours to Normandy and Luxembourg, so if anyone needs any advice I'd be only to pleased to help.
I've test ridden recently the Honda Integra and BMW C600, but I'll save that for another post.
Cheers
