Looking at the vid on reliability I can't help but notice there's no mentions for BMW, KTM, Ducati, Triumph, Harley, Chinese, or Indian motorcycles. Instead it's 5 bikes for Honda, 2 for Suzuki, 2 for Kawasaki, and 1 for Yamaha! What can we learn from this?

A few years ago I heard he was still in South America somewhere!

@Six30.......there's a huge fight happening tonight!

It's an SH44.....a medium size box.

Great stuff Eric.....I think it's the first time we've seen your wife with you?

Fucking hell!

A motorcycle with a towbar?

You already are according to Bruce (who's the poster child for boring fuckers).......so I defer to his judgement on the matter!

They're taking no prisoners now Yen!

The only thing It'll fail miserably at is looking like a Brit replica! I can live with that! And since when has looking like a Brit replica been a criteria for buying a bike? Don't people make purchasing decisions based on criteria like value for money, reliability, resale value, parts availability, dealer network etc these days? Look at this for around the same money.....it's a no-brainer! https://motos.coches.net/nuevas/suzuki/v__strom_650_abs/2023-en-madrid-8029999.htm

As you say.....it's to get tea bags! Not to fucking socialise!

Compare it with any other bikes at that price point......that's the logical way. How good it is compared to another Indian POS doesn't give buyers much to go on. For example......the CB500X is at that price point! And it's a big seller! So how does it stack up against that? We all know the answer to that, but these review guys won't say it because the Dealers won't give them any more bikes to test.

What nationalities? I thought they'd all left?

Yeh.....but you got the peace of mind that your panel shows 12.5.

Work of art? And it compares favourably with the RE? Not setting the bar very high are they?

I thought it might be the bhp of the bike!

What's 12.5 showing for?

Brit cliques in Britain?

Thing is, you're one of those people who fit in here and are in tune with the Spanish. Most aren't as you've probably seen.....they just congregate in their Brit cliques! Those are the ones who cause the "them and us" scenario so it's best never to be seen with them or the locals will think you're one of them.

Weather's good....... ......and I've cleared all my work. But I'm not sure at the moment whether we're having the grandkids or not. So it's difficult to make any plans......but I will get out at some point! What about you lot?

That's a big plus then......great engine!
