Fair enough. A friend, who now has a 954RR as a road bike, had a CBR6F for many years, and about 40,000 miles and still didn’t think he better’d it. He’s converted it to a track bike now and it’s still a capable machine.
Only thing that makes me want to change my bike, bar the neck ache, is a lack of torque. But it’s so damn agile and ‘tame’ on the road. I can open the throttle mid corner and no upset, at speed. On a 1000…?
Think my garage next year will gain a s’moto of some such, and the 600 may be kept. Plus, I just think it looks ace.
On the ride home, it was obvious - with it's heated grips and Michelin PR4s - that it'll be more my spring/autumn bike, and the RR will be for sunny sundays and track duties.
So, Feb is expensive. Car MOT, major service, new tyres, Bike 1 MOT, service, Bike 2, service. Both bikes have braided lines and fast road pads ready.
Umm'd and arr'd for ages about replacing one and both bikes, and I'm going to give them both another year. SV will turn into a trackday slag, which is fine. RR will get tarted up for road duties.
Next year I expect one of the bikes to be replaced by a Tuono. I've got this year to decide on which one
