This is it parked up a few miles west of Skipton. I'm the one not sitting on it.[/img] (no idea if this attachment thing will work or not).

Revved the crap out of it getting it up the kerb and into my front yard when I got back Embarassed

Medals are only given out posthumously, and even then, sometimes not.

Fazers' probably the best choice for a first big bike. Good brakes and handling and soft power delivery below 7000rpm.

+1 for the choice of bike Thumbs Up

Another +1 for kerbs. Nearly ended up in my mates hallway last week.

After getting out the tape measure I realised it would fit through the back gate after all (1" spare each side). Much smaller kerb and I bodged a plank and bit of 2x2 as a ramp. No stalling or over-revving this way Cool

Pin it from a standstill...(my newbie thoughts at the time)
up to 4000rpm - feels like it's restricted Confused
4000 - 6000 - ooh this is quite quick Very Happy
7000 onwards - fuuuck it's turbocharged Shocked
