I'd ditch the sprint. 1) Sounds like it's a complete, up and running bike which will be easy to punt. 2) I have it in my head that they have a plastic tank that doesn't play well with high ethanol fuel and if you have to take it off for some reason, you might not be able to get it back on again. A problem without an easy solution. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

Agreed - all the above plus the T'ace is cooler . ____________________ Now: A100, SRX250, XJ598, FZ750, SL1000

Hmm, at the risk of contradicting myslef you could be onto something. I was confusing the YZF T'ace with the older FZR1000 which is cool.
In which case something lighter that you can get in and out of teh garage more easily for local runs might make sense. ____________________ Now: A100, SRX250, XJ598, FZ750, SL1000
