but am definately interested in someday trying a small european racer on tiny roads to see what that would be like!!![/QUOTE]
You'd be wanting some extra insurance here before you did that,altho some roads are nice,the drivers here are blind to bikes,and your racer will literally be the death of you in Devon and cornwall.
Having said that,ambition is a fine thing,and I hope you realise yours.
BTW,its difficult to drive anywhere over here without seeing a Harley or two,which is only natural,seeing as how they are THE epitomy of style and motorcycling savvy.
