Don't blame the governments, blame the people. If they got rid of VED and put it all on fuel, despite it being a much fairer system, there would be riots in the streets. Petrol above £2 per litre? Heaven forbid! Hauliers would have an especially tough time of it, and everything would increase in cost because of the extra transport costs. Truth be told, for most of us the system is weighed in our favour.

I'll sacrifice most things for the driving experience. Build quality, comfort, styling, cost, all up for compromise. A decent drive isn't.

It's a bit like asking do you want a Yank V8 or an Italian V8.

Drive both, make up your mind.

No probs

They're good, for what they are. I've tried them on a VXR220, and they do offer more grip than normal tyre with better water displacement than the 888, I found them to be a bit compromised tbh. The dry grip isn't good enough to warrant picking these over a really good road tyre (MPSS, obviously), and the extra wet grip isn't spectacularly better than the 888. They do have a lot of feel though, something the 888s aren't massively good at by nature, and are certainly a decent tyre in their own right.

Only the Yanks could take a car so perfectly set up for corners, and turn it's USP into going quick in a straight line

If you haven't had an alignment in the last 6-12 mths, then I would definitely get one. I'm sure one of the more local members here can help point you somewhere decent

I know, I was agreeing with you. In a backwards kinda way.

I've bought cars without driving them. Great fun! Did the VXR220 and the 911 that way. Balls = kahunas.

It's not about the value of what you're insuring, it's about the value of what you can crash into

Lols, just checked and found this from a biking site: VFR actually emits 158.8 g/km, so if they did that in line with cars that bike would actually be paying £175 instead of £78! :lol: Hope no-one signed that petition...

Spot-on attitude, fair play to you fella

I'd be keeping my mouth shut if I were a motorbikelist. All they'll do is re-do the bike taxes in the same vein as the car tax, but they'll reset them like this: 0-5gm = £0 5-10 = £50 10-20= £100 etc So actually, that Honda VFR is now paying MORE in tax than before. Just like how top limit for cars used to be £200 on the old system, now it's touching £500. Keep your gob shut and be thankful

The most important thing is that the OP is happy, and I believe they are. What the rest of us think is pretty inconsequential.

As far as the strut brace goes, there's no benefit having it over a stock one unless you want something prettier. Might be a bit lighter, but I honestly can't remember now. In terms of performance, I wouldn't bother.

Silly hat rule. I doubt that any wheel you'd care to fit to that will save the front bumper from looking like a cheap snow plough.

Oh my.

As always, the Team can (and do) choose to implement what they like. Some I agree with, some I don't.

Go start your own forum and moderate that, then. You can have all the sub-forums you want.

I'm a forum user. This is a public forum. That's what gives me the right to comment, unless the Team say otherwise. I didn't say all people are stupid. My comments referred to stupid people. All people != stupid.

Oh the ironing is delicious More sub-forums, more places for stupid people to mis-post threads. More work for mods, just to cater for stupidity. That's neither fair nor workable.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

ECU will adapt to any mod you make power-wise, so pointless unless you want the noise or benefits of less weight.

Definitely mate, sorry I missed you yesterday. They're just the PFL 15"s, so 6J front and 6.5J rear.
