Title: On Poole Quay
Post by: BikerGran on September 06, 2011, 02:55:02 PM
Any sunny afternoon there's always a few bikes down there.  I don't usually look twice at Harleys but somehow this older one caught my eye

And this very new bike I heard before I saw it - lovely!

That's impressive. Surely that can't be a production model can it?

A friend of mine runs a Ducati/Suzuki dealership in Colchester and had one as a demonstrator earlier this year. The button to change the mapping for the engine is also the left indicator switch!!!! can cause a change of colour of underpants if you press it by accident when indicating left ??? ??? ??? ???

Haven't kept up with modern bike design really -I'm still stuck in the 60s/70s & think shaft drive multi cylinder motors are the work of the devil, but that looks pretty impressive.
