Loved this machine, went all the way to Brindisi and back, some of the way with Austen, actually saw 145mph once on the way into Bristol.  Nearly ran over Emmerson Fittipaldi. in Monaco while he was being interviewed by Jackie Stewart prior to the Monaco Grand Prix! Brilliant bike. 0—60 3.4 seconds. Used it to go on one the best trips I've done - down to Brindisi in Italy with mate Austen - to work (on the rigs). Once did Brindisi to St Tropez in a day. Started raining at Rome but carried on - was physically steaming when I got to the campsite as it was 80° there!

My Italian speeding ticket - 5000 Lire (£2.50)!!
