Ever felt particularly attached to any of your bikes?

Yeah all of them apart from the CBR400 (NC29). What are you replacing it with?

Hope you don't regret it. Whenever I've thought I've had enough of powerful sports bikes and have tried lower capacity bikes I always find myself yearning for the occasional big capacity adreneline rush - something that the 12 delivers like no other bike.

Enjoy the Street though - they must be doing something right as I've never read a less than glowing report about them

I don't think you'll regret it. I've just moved from an R1 to a Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce, not a dissimilar move to yours, and I don't regret it a bit. The R1 was a totally different type of thrill, mostly from sheer acceleration. The Veloce is just damned fun to ride, I find myself smiling all the time. And it's got so much low down grunt that the R1 didn't have, I get a thrill from low down acceleration instead.

You'll be fine.

Don't keep any pictures of the old one lying around though... saw a pic of mine the other day and felt a bit sad.

You've just changed though, so still have the new bike glow! See how you feel in 6 months - that's when the sports bike pangs started for me both times when I tried to leave them!

Hi

Another vote for all of them. But that is why I buy cheaper bikes and just keep them.

All the best

I'd love to do that one day... open the garage in the morning and have a supermoto, tourer, sports bike...

How many bikes have you got Keith?

Hi

23 I think, plus a few remains for spares. Nowhere near all of them run.

All the best
