[Carbon_ZX6R]

Oh mate - you do pick em!!!!!!

Sounds like a lucky escape.

If you want a man's supermoto (that needs a lot of looking after but the rewards are huge) there was a bloke selling a very nice looking (with full Dave Clarke history) Husaberg FS650 on the Facebook page the Bike Bay the other day.

That is a mans Supermoto.
