In abit of a dilema, got the car up for sale at the moment as i want to get another bike had the R6 last summer. My dad and a friend wants to do some riding abroad this year and asked if i want to come along, i'd love to but one i need a bike, two it's impractical because my gf has a little girl so it's easyier but i love the freedom and speed of a bike? Not sure what to do

Blimey, the old AF1's. Not heard of them for a while.
Bike, not contest... Something nice and not a mass produced machine

Could he ride the 600 to its full potential (90% of riders can't)?
Leave the thous for the boys who got plenty of experience.
"Straightliners" as i call them, should stick to Busas and such.. Supersports are designed for corners.
Ducati 888, get some real heritage, dribble, still wants one

WTF? Random? Where the hell have i made out that at all?
I've been riding 7 years (on the road, been riding bikes since i was 7 though, and im 26 next month), and still really class myself as a novice....
But, i bet one of your mates could have him in his 106?
Is Rossi also the only name you can think of

Yeah, some people who have won higher titles....
(Toselands only won 1 WSB title, through luck, Hislop, ok, TT, and the rest are BSB level).
Ever heard the likes of Swantzch, Rainey, Doohan, Mamola, Sarron, Roche, Gardner Haslem (Ron), Rhymer etc... 
Could your mates beat them also? In their Type R Saxo GTi Turbo?
Silly little boy....

They lack the torque to pull the weight of a car....
Mind you, don't think anyones done a thumping 1000cc Twin engine in one yet.... That would be interesting.....
Oh i miss my twin engine My IL4 is nice and smooth, but the twin is so much more fun, and sounds so much better.
Twin Aprillia Mille engined car, hmmmmmm, wet pants
