    I've had several brands myself but always seem to return to Suzuki. Yeah true some do feel a little on the softer side than other brands but it makes easy to handle and more forgiving. I'd say my favourite of all the other bikes I've had previously would be the 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R. Rode well, went well, looked and sounded great. And not too peaky for a 600 unlike the Yamaha R6 I had which all action in the top end.. I did track work varying from ride days to club racing for about 8 years but gave it away in about 2015. I found that I couldn't go any quicker without spending BIG bucks and wasn't so keen on riding beyond my limits and the ever rising costs was also a contributing factor. I did also stop street riding for about 18 months as the bike was my primary means to and from work but it got too scary a ride from where we lived. After we moved the ride was much closer and on better roads so I bought this 750. I do miss the track but I'm definitely enjoying riding to work semi regularly. I'd really like to do more leisure riding but since all this Covid crap happened no one has been riding much if at all unfortunately.

    That's a great shot! I really like the 999! Been wanting one for years but the good ones are sooo expensive.. gotta just stick with the Suzuki's for now.. this is my brand new GSXR750 I got back in June this year. It's my first under 1000cc bike I've had in over 10 years! It was either gonna be a used 1000cc or a brand new smaller bike.. so I settled on this and have no regrets. It's a fantastic bit of kit and still plenty fast enough! Don't need that huge power any more and this is so much more comfortable than my old K6 1000. Also it's nice to get something brand new for a change rather than someone else's crap they no longer want.

    The Suzuki is actually a model I've had for a while.. it's Troy Corser 2006 bike as he won the championship in 2005. It is a very lovely model. It's the only one I kept after selling off the rest of the bikes I had. I also had a K6 road bike so there is a sentimental attachment to it. The Jag is the new model.. also a very lovely thing!

    That's what I must be thinking of but I don't have the other variants anymore.. I'm not so keen on the missile pods which is why I only have the wing tip missiles fitted.
  10. spanner
    Did the original version come with more missiles?

    Can't stop looking at them

    My goodness they are so beautiful! I will switch one to Battroid but I'll do that after I have closely inspected them to decide which is the nicer one to keep in fighter mode..

    It's a stunning piece isn't it! My 2nd one arrived and hour ago! Just leaving work now..

    I have never really liked the exposed fan detailing in most if not all the Valkyries.. the VF 27 just has black holes with no fan detailing and looks great with the covers off in fighter mode. I know the technology behind the Valkyries is meant to be different to real life fighter jets but even in most jets you don't see the fans especially the more stealthy ones..
  15. spanner
    hehe! good thing they're only toys! they are only toys right!?
  16. spanner
    That looks fab! but for me personally I still cannot bring myself to display a Valkyrie without the fan covers in place.. other than a VF-27

    Got shipping notification from HLJ! I'm hoping it'll arrive before the weekend!
  18. spanner
    Yeah shipping costs are just ridiculous at the moment.. but what can you do
  19. spanner
    Payment went through for my VF-0D.. but then I had to pay for shipping which was another nearly 10,000 yen.. No idea when it will ship though..
