The bloke at Robbinsons rochdale said its a bit of a strange bike for a young like like me to have.
Thought Robbies went bust? Can remember drooling over the tiger in their show room.
Think I was 40 when I got my 3vd, 50 now though.

I'd have thought doing that was sensible as well Pete
Especially as the much raved about'revolutionary' new Honda NCX700 - low revving with excellent MPG ..........
............Is a parallel twin with a 270 degree crank ! .........They obviously saw a gap opening up in the market

Agreed - Yamaha's business development team is crap.
On the mpg issue btw I'm embarrassed at being given credit for the record - I told Kevin that belonged to Quartermaster at 83+
Age-wise I'll be collecting my pension in August

To all the under 50 riders & some much younger.....don't despair !! You would be amazed at the average age of Fireblade & Busa riders. Probably its only the older fartys who can afford to run them

37 and the TDM is the best bike I've ever owned. I've had lots of test rides to see what I'm missing and the TDM still wins!
Although I can't part with my Fireblade...... Not ridden it for two years! wtf!?
