Me too, ever since they were launched.

Accidentally contacted my local dealer (RE have changed the links on their website configurator) and ended up calling them to make sure I hadn't actually ordered 300 quids worth of accessories for a bike I don't own.

Got chatting to their sales manager and he mentioned they were changing their demonstrator at the end of the month, but I specifically wanted the Ravishing Red (gay name) tank and their bike was different, plus they have deleted that colourway for 2021.

He did offer me the bike for a pretty good price though, so I was considering buying it and ordering a new tank, until he asked me to hang on - when he came back, it was to tell me thought he had remembered they had a changed a tank for another customer and he had gone off to see if he could find it.

He had found it, they had polished out the mark the other customer had moaned about and they would swap it for the cost of the labour - on top of that, out of the blue somebody else offered me a good price for one of my other bikes, which cleared a space in the garage and gave me another few quid in the bank.

tl:dr planets aligned and I pick up my Interceptor on Saturday.

I won't be any different, first thing I noticed is that when I put my feet down as they naturally fall, the pegs spear my legs, so unless I change position when I'm actually riding, a set of adjustables are high up the list.

First thing though will be hard luggage, hate using backpacks or throwovers.

Nah, got away with not changing my name to Belt when I bought the scoot and I've still got the Katana and Big Zed.

Although, I quite like the idea of becoming The Interceptor............ Cool

I've watched so many videos now, they all merge into one - can't seem to find anyone that has a fundamentally bad opinion of the bike though, so I hope I've made the right choice.

I've been trawling through their website for quite a while and I know they are the brand gurus, but christ on a bike, they know how to charge for some of it.

If you haven't before, check out TEC, they do some quite interesting stuff.

Be cautious with them. I just got a set of their shocks, they are just the same ones sold for £40 on ebay with a £100 added and the rfy branding removed. I traded them for a set of old rearsets, bloke i traded with had used them for 20 miles before deciding they were too crap for road use. The finish on them is pretty poor and i suspect i'll destroy them off road in a few hundred miles.

I already blacked out the console with new side panels. Been waiting for the black controllers to be released.
I'll buy a second one in a couple of months and put the white one away for spare, PS5 can have up to 4 players
on at once so a third may be handy occasionally. BTW the little button under the PS button is a mic mute button. Works
with any headset too. quick tap mutes mic, so a good cough button (I wish some of my mates had it, Especially my mate
Dave with all his tics the most common being a loud sniff every couple of minutes. That said you can also adjust the mix of
voices in the voice chat to turn others up and down individually. Another handy feature.) Hold it down for 1 second
and it mutes mic and game sounds. I use it all the time when playing online. I must get one of these headsets that's
compatible with the 3D sound function although I'd like to try before I buy since I'm looking at about 150 sheets for the
one I want, Sony's official headset is a bit cheapo and flimsy feeling.

Is the PS5 actually worth it (taking gougers out for a second)? Is it that much of a step-up from the PS4 Pro?

I've had my PS4 Pro since it launched so it's an old girl now and I am considering upgrading but I don't want to be disappointed if it's not really that much of a step-up (yet, I remember when PS4 launched and graphics were comparable with the PS3 on ported games). I have a gaming PC with an RTX 3090 in it but I never play the thing, it's a total white elephant as I prefer the convenience of a console.

RX3090's are fetching mega money, flog it for serious money; they are reaching crazy prices; well over £1200. This would get you a PS5, a lesser graphics card and money in the bank.

To tell you the truth I've not used much at all. I have the first 1TB PS4 not the Pro so I cannot compare.
I guess my favourite thing about the PS5 is how quiet it runs in comparison to my PS4. Least favourite
thing is how quickly you fill up the on board memory, I will have to buy an external Hard drive before long so I
can transfer all the PS4 stuff onto there. There is an expansion slot on PS5 but as yet no official peripheral to plug
into it. But I suspect that Sony will release something within a year or so because they want to sell PS5 software
and there isn't much room for those as things stand. You can play PS4 stuff directly from an external hard drive
via Ps5 but not PS5 stuff as most external HD's cant run fast enough to keep up with the console.

He's a raging fanny though. Ex copper so that might explain some of it, but he can talk some utter shite and hates it being pointed out.

Thinks he's some sort of Lord of the Youtube ! lol.


RE's are feking awesome bikes though. Big fan of the 650.
