Hi! Thanks for the welcome - and the advice!
I guess it is a bit of a grey area really, so will be careful!.... One more point - have been thinking of a change of bike for a while now (put a tad too many miles on the poor old thing!), Is the new (or newish) R6 as aggresive to ride as a lot of people make out? I mean how different will it be going from a 2003 model to a 2008ish one? Again - have heard mixed reviews, I know a test ride is one answer, but is there anything I should be aware of?
