Well the roadster is going to have a take a back seat for a few months until my bank balance recovered from my recent purchase:

It appears that after designing motorcycles for a year you eventually want to get one...It's only a 125 to get me started but it still seems pretty nippy! After riding this I really wouldn't want to get anything bigger for a while, else I might kill myself! :D

It's one of the only 125's that I actually fit on as it's a full sized bike (I'm 6'6"), for my CBT I rode a Yamaha YBR 125 and my god that was a clown bike when I was sitting on it, I kept having to move my knees out of the way every time I wanted to turn a sharp corner.

It's definitely been a worthwhile purchase and I'm surprised I didn't buy one sooner!

At least now I have the time to fix any little niggles I'm not happy with on the roadster so it's the perfect car I set out to build.

Looks like they are going fast but really they are being overtaken.. :rolleyes: .. Does look good though.

I have been on the back of a bike once, never again. It was fun but I did not like the stats. Hence a roadster :) . It's so so so long ago I can't remember what it was...

A guy I use to live across the road from in the 90's had a Turbocharged Bike ( again the model escapes me now but it was a production bike ). He said it was great in a straight line.. ( as we know the UK is full of corners and a turbo comming on boost on a bike is not funny on a bend! )
