Saul Posted yesterday at 13:54 Author Share Posted yesterday at 13:54 To use a local phrase "He is all cock and ribs like a Zanzibar Greyhound" He reckons he can get 70mph out of it but the couple of times I have ridden with him he never got much past 60mph. I have had a couple of spins on it and it wouldn't go past 60mph with me on it but then again I reckon I am twice his weight. It's not a pristine example of the breed either. Hateful thing IMHO, Shadows is a much better bike if a little slower to accelerate. But talking about 125 performance is a bit like fleas arguing over who owns the dog, as I tell the kids loudly and often 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it'd only be a matter of time before our resident Peanut Gallery piped up w/ a wise crack... The stretch of tarmac I did that on was pretty damn flat, I'll have you know. It was an old favorite that I frequently took most of my bikes on... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Well HH is a happy bunny, apparently his bike is going much better now with the new pipe, apparently the handling is on point now and the front brakes are awesome. Funny how having the right brake lever and straight forks does help . Seriously I am happy he is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
