Got overtaken by one of these last night (I was on my bicycle) and it
parked nearby so I checked it out.

I _really_ loved the look of it. I never thought I'd gaze lustfully at
a cruiser, but this bike really is the shit. The R1 rear footpegs and
forks/brakes go a long way to making it look "special" in the eyes of a
sport bike enthusiast.

The thing is just PHAT. There is no other way to describe it. I could
definitely ride one of these. Maybe. I think it would do its intended
job (i.e. cruising) very well.

yeah I agree... (and you park one next to the ZX12R and it makes the 12R
muffler look small. Dunno if it's a cruising bike though... Robbie Bolger
didn't try to sell it as one Smile I don't mind the look of the bike either, but
when I sat on one I found the frame where the leg should be quite annoying...
maybe it's different when you ride it as opposed to sitting on it at the
dealership.

nah the banjo bolt arrived ages ago. I've done 1000km since then!
Eurobrit furnished me with a 748 item which was spot on. Still no sign
of the genuine item from A1 though.

But that Yammy was a very sweet machine. In fact here's a shot I took
with the phone last night

He's a banjo-bolt short of a braking system eh?
(He's not squeezing a full master-cylinder)

Chrome, lots and lots and lots of chrome.
You sure they didn't steal that muffler off a car? it's big enough.
