It was when I fed all of my requirements past Eddie and he suggested that I
needed a CG125 that I realised I've already got something that will do
lap-tops and luggage and 400 miles in a day, etc.

Um, does anybody know what critical mass is for Italian vehicles?

It's when the Pope says "Son, issa pila sheet".

Well when your vehicle choice is between a needlessly over-complicated
French car, a high performance, hand built Italian car or an Italian
motorbike you're probably lucky if any 2 out of the 3 are working at any one
time.

Thank god I've got a push-bike.

Look, my requirements are perfectly straightforward.

I want a bike that looks *exactly* like the Aprilia
It must perform like the Aprilia
It musn't cost any more than the Aprilia
It must have the comfort and luggage capability of a Pan Euro

If you can't suggest the bike that fits those requirements it's
because you're a rubbish consultant.

While it's no 998 or 1098 the Factory R is a fantastic looking bike
excepting the 'orrible street legal exhausts. It's nice to have Ohlins
forks, even if they aren't *quite* the OE track spec.

> It must perform like the Aprilia

I've never seen an Aprilia perform well against Dukes or big Jap stuff on a
track. That's not to say they can't, I've just never seen it done.

> It musn't cost any more than the Aprilia

£7k does seem mighty fair

It appears you do in fact want a Ducati ST4S, however they are hard to find
and don't look quite so good from the front. How bizarre.

I'd go with a GSXR1000 with a Givi wingrack and luggage myself.

And if you come to Northumberland the week after next you can see me
on an RSV being beaten by somebody's gran in a shop-mobility scooter.

If might not be fast, but at least I'll get a good look at whatever I
hit.

I think I understand your Brief now.
You want an MV but an F4 starts at over 8 grand for an 04
