Has it got a bell? It looks a bit hunchbacked.

Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Re: Tempted by a new bike.
Thanks Kev, nice to see someone with taste, who isn't stuck in the past.
Of course his reply to that'll be, the Royal Enfields are stuck in the past, but not this baby, it's a completely new design from the ground up and it makes the GT550 look like a dinosaur.
And if that doesn't wind Scrooge up, how's about 88mpg?
