In that case I think I may go to Peterborough Suzuki and have a test ride on a decent bike. A Suzuki Gladius.

I must admit to stirring things a little in my first post on the subject of other manufacturers. My favourite - and only - test ride of 2008 was on the HONDA CB1000R. Superb machine. Honda quality and service will always be very hard to beat. ( If I had somewhere to park a Pan European, it would probably be my first choice) I hope this clears up any misunderstanding as to where my loyalties lie.

Honda, Triumph, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW ... who cares
They all make decent machines and its good to see what the other manufacturers are up to with technology and gizmos.
At least nobody has admitted to test riding a Harley
