# Go on then, what bike do you have?

# Well I like to call it a 916
because essentially it is, but it's the sports tourer version the ST2

# Never took a bike there
but I took my Nissan 3 years ago and got a respectable 8'40 in the slight damp whilst dodging sunday drivers in their MX5's all day.
You'll love it. I plan to take my beemer there some day.

You'll love it. I'm a track day nut.

# I've got an R6
Although a speed triple would be lovely

# My best mate has an R7
sadly it never leaves his garage except for a wash and a regular start. He does see it as an investment though as it's mint A+.

# Meh
I ride mine every day as my commuter. I'm lucky enough to live in the Cotswolds, so I have some stonking roads to hoon around on.

The R7 does conjure up wonderful nostalgia about Haga in the World Superbikes though. Top banana.

# I used to commute on mine daily
but now I work from home so I don't have to go out if it's pissing down.

Still gets plenty of miles though - as Ogri says, a bike on the road is worth two in the shed!
