This months bike is dghackett's RF900
Dave writes "Well Thanks very much, thats made me smile. I am a bit lost as to what to say really as I have not ridden it as much as I would have liked. Here goes:
Basically, bought R351 LAP on a whim. I had actually viewed a 2003 1200 Bandit but the RF900 caught my eye. It was £500 more than the Bandit BUT it was imaculate.
Very low miles and the nail on the head was I had always thought the RF was a fantastic looking motorcycle.
I bought it on a whim, not even road testing before the purchase. On my first ride I knew that I had made the right decision. The power delivery is very linear and there is masses of power.
The longest rides I have been on are to the RF bike meet at Newbury and two trips to Avonmouth (340m approx return).
I have fitted an alarm and heated grips to it. I have found that I do not really need the heated grips as the aerodynamics deflect most of the cold air away from your hands.
I have only just started using my winter gloves.
When finances allow I intend to fit a tail tidy and handle bar risers.
I am eagerly looking forward to the BIG RF meet next year and the time / money to ride the RF everywhere.
Oh! yes just one more thing, I wish to change the Avons to Bridgestones asap as either they are talking too much (for me) or are quite loose in the wet"
