I don't think that I'd get one. That said, I like both the K1300 and VFR1200, so perhaps I'm dangerously close to the brink without realising it...

Don't think so Graeme. I love the idea of the bike - but reality and a lack of restraint could prove problematic, to say the least.

Makes sense. I don't think that there's a lot in it between most big bikes up at legal speeds in the UK. So the big Kwak is pointless.

Then again, the Coalition has been shutting off speed cameras...

Just got done with a demo ride on a black one. Rode it around 15 miles or so.

Whooolllly shit.

They had it set on F for power. Just wanted to try one of the speedsters, kinda like a bucket list. 15 minutes is all my neck could take though.

Ha! I reckon one of the reason's i ride a big trailie type machine is due to owning a de-restricted 'busa back in the days before speed cameras. My neck creaks like an old rocking chair.
I guess there is always a price to pay for fun..
