WOW!!!

Well, had the Cat for a year now and though I don't do many miles I have a lot more confidence and of course with that comes a (little) bit more speed.

Just come back from a ride-out with my Ninja Pal and I definitely shift through the gears more this year and boy doesn't she sing.

Personally I couldn't have wished for a better bike after 23 years away, are newer 600 bikes that much better than a Cat?

I've always been a bit scared to find out My 'Cats have always been better than me, so maybe the newer ones are better in some respects however I doubt it for what I want from a bike.

I've had a cat and now have a 650 Daytona which I think is awesome and definitely handles better than the cat, a bit nippier too.

Just had a CBR rr 600 as a loan bike and it's lovely to ride, nippy and the gears are just heavenly but my wrists & elbows were knackered after only a few miles.

The cat built my confidence and is a great all round bike but I'm pleased with the progression I've made.

Better no, newer yes.

I'll admit I'm 100% blinkered but that's just the way I see it.

On the road the only thing a 'newer' bike might be able to do is get to silly speeds a little bit quicker.

As well as occasionally p155ing oil my bike has p155ed over a lot of newer bikes. I even overtook Terry Lees once

Keep enjoying it.

Does that come with Old Age then?

We'll have to try and meet up somewhere central this summer John and discuss RUSH albums!

That's sounds good to me, you Reminisce and I'll drink. Lol

Sunny Hunny a good idea one weekend/evening?
When summer kicks in.

If the summer kicks in I might join in.

As to the cat. I ebayed a lucky catch. I didnt know what I would be getting but fortunately picked a good one. Bike that is.

Reminicing from my 2 stroke days, I didn't think 4 strokes could perform as well. (CG125!) but I was wrong. My cat, yoda, puts a smile on my face evety time I ride.
