IF I WAS on my first week of a job in a workshop, by now someone would have sent me down to Halfords for a left-handed spanner. Pretty wise to wind-up, I assumed when Chris naffed off to Australia for the launch of the new GSX-R1000 (page 20), and threw me the keys to Matt’s old ZX-10R he was pulling my plonker.
My riding life has seen its fair share of sports bikes, but in recent years I’ve been performing my commute on a 20-year-old VFR750. Upright, plodding, getting the job done. My NC30 is currently in pieces in the shed (OK, it’s been that way for years now – but I will get round to sorting it), so the promise of some proper wheel-lofting action on a litre bike was – once I’d realised Chris wasn’t having a laugh – enough to cause moderate tension to the fabric of my underwear.
