I rode the Power valve about 20 years ago and the YZF when he first got it 15 years ago as for the "spesh" nope but then it never got that far..He used the YZF for touring so never really hammered it although he did pile on 40,000 miles.
He has a 3 year old GSXR1000 K6 cruise missile to keep him smiling but had loadsa problems with it....the frames crack!!! And no he aint a lunatic wheelie merchant.
