It's no use denying it. The more you shake your head the more chance you"ll get one of those corks in your eye.
How long are you planning on being over there?

i did this last week,,,,then i went out on my S1,,,,,its mine cos their brill

That really is a fine looking motorcycle

I'm really looking forward to having a shot on Magz X1 when she gets it I suspect if I like the X1 I'll be even more attracted to the S1 I'm already thinking of getting rid of the HyperStrada Me being a wee but undertall has always put me off considering an S1

Magz' XB will be replaced with a 1190SX - we'll maybe have three Buells in the garage. Blimey.

S1s have a narrow seat so short legs go further...

Clive. i'm not much taller than you and have no trouble with my S1. I could see you and Magz turning up at maz's or east kirkby on matching coloured S1 and X1's. Go on Clive you know you want it. I definatly would if i had a spare 5k lying about and park it right next to the S1WL

I'm a short arse too, but i have never considered my S1 to be a tall bike.

My lad Matt would love that Bonzo, but he needs to save up his pennies.

Hey Bonzo, leave it with me, I won't abuse it for you, as I am too short. I will make sure it has some tlc so it will be ready and able whenever you want to ride it.

S1's are perfect for the vertically challenged. I am 5"3' and as long as you remember to stop near lamp posts you won't topple off.

I sold both my Maz sorted and high specification parts X1 and S1 for peanuts in real terms... both also had proper Buell personalised number plates included, and don't regret it at all. If its time for the bike to go set a price and then enjoy the funds once in your mitts. Life is too short for sentiment.. don't be swayed by others....just my 5 pence worth for what it's worth.
