Same here Saul , I’m surrounded by them in work but I have no interest in riding them .

The only sports bike I kept for any time was my RD350YPVS

I had a RD400 when another mate bought a Power Valve new, I was so jealous, it seemed like an absolute rocket ship at the time.

My best mate used to be a green one, Still gets shitty when I take the piss nowadays even though it was 1996 when he had his Kwak ZZR600.  I always remember his face when I went out with him for his first ride on it, me on my K100RS.     He spent weeks, waiting for delivery,  telling me how he would do his best not to leave me behind when he got the ZZR but it was me who had to wait for him on several occasions.    No super hero claims from me just competent , he was on a much quicker lighter bike, but a Noob with a new bike and a very twitchy ring.  There may have been a hint of putting manners on him a couple of times but only when it was safe 🤣   Mind you I then had weeks of him telling me once it was run in, yada yada yada.    I never claimed to be quick and don't now, but there is something about some guys with sports bikes, got to be billy big balls.  🤣.  All the power rangers around here used to walk bandy legged like they had shat themselves.  🤣

My mate dead Phil was was a bit like that. I had great pleasure telling him there was no way he could win in a race with me because he was on a sports bike and i wasn't, so if i won he would be totally humiliated and if i lost i didn't really lose because he was on a sports bike and i wasn't so he should win :classic_laugh:

I wouldn't fancy riding on the dirt with that front tyre after the weather we've been having Bob i would describe it as gay as the tyres Pete would fit :classic_laugh:

The fashion at the time.....like Adv Bikes are now.

But at least Adv Bikes are practical......unlike sportsbikes.

So a sports bike isn't practical at all?

I've had enough on my 1st ninja for a week away easy enough with my panniers and tank bag.

I got a load of flak when I got the 1st T Max, the usual remarks "we will wait for you" it was very rare that they did, and when we arrived at our destination my helmet, gloves and jacket went under the seat, while they were walking around carrying all their gear with them 😂 

One guy, Trevor, was the one we waited for on his Yamaha Divvy 600, it was a bit faster than the scoot but not by much, Trevor was a bus driver (no offence to @Buckster intended) and he rode his bike like he drove his bus, in as much that he was very reluctant to even attempt a overtake on other vehicles. 😂 

Yeah, I know the way, I drive the bus like I ride my Harley, women throw their knickers at the bus all day long. It is what it is.

It’s not the best mate but it was on the bike when I got it. I’m taking a leaf out of your book and using it until it’s bald 👨‍🦲

That's because they can't afford the fares on their pensions! 😂😂

There's two types of tyre that give you good grip, Knobblies and slicks anything in between is just gay :classic_laugh:

Just been out cleaning my bike ready for some better weather.   Shocked I actually had to adjust the chain, something I never had to do on my CB500F.    
Also fitted a more parpy horn given some blind twat nearly took me out with my daughter on the back on the way home from Damerells last night.

Double the power on that to the CB Saul......so you're going to do more chain adjustments.

Also, you'll go through tyres a lot quicker!
