Take care of that cough/cold. Get to the doctors, then listen to them.

in my younger days that would have been classed as a super bike.
now they call these bike commuters etc.
its only a twin but it'll do 130mph.more than fast enough for me.
I wanted some thing that is light and will pull me and my wife easily on our trips out. it does that alright plus it'll do 55/60 miles a gallon(imp gal)

John. When I was young, there wasn't anything on the streets at all that would do 130mph. Racebikes maybe, but no streetbikes. As impressive as the fuel mileage sounds, my trusty J model buffalo got the same 55-60 mpg per imperial gal. Not bad for a 37 year old two stroke! Of the other 11 bikes on our fall ride to Montana in Sept., H2Rick's KZ 650 was the only bike to do better. Your new bike, though, is beautiful to look at. A shame they couldn't incorporate some way of mounting a centerstand for the basic daily maintainance involved with owning a chain drive bike. A friend of mine has the Versus version of that bike, and he loves it. Like you said, sufficient power, great handling, and great looks. Makes it a fabulous bike in my book. Cheers, and enjoy.
