how many different new bikes are there? The big 4 makes about 80, plus Triumph,BMW,Ktm,Guzzi,Aprilia plus some others; there must be over 200 new models to choose from. our lovely little MT07 is a whizzy back-lane bike, she isn't a tourer, a trackday nor a sports bike. She is quiet enough not to disturb the horses in the field next to us. Economical. The bouncy bits at the front and back seem to work ok, and the brakes (on the rare occasion that I try them). The flashers do blink although of course I don't rely on any other road user taking any notice! There is some kind of grey panel with numbers on but I'm too busy watching the vanishing point to pay much attention to it. The only change I have made is to space out one of the mirrors by about 2 inches so I can see what is behind. (who is this Victor Meldrew bloke anyway?)
