The RSA site classes then as A2 if restricted. Doesn’t say what they are if not restricted.

My instructor said it’s NOT an A bike, and my tester seemed surprised that they’re not.

Sorry, I know they're not an A for sure.

Whatever they are mine will do me for now. I have a 400km spin next Wednesday, so I might have changed my mind by next Thursday!!

Dammit, my upsell attempt didn't work. I was just wondering lol. Doubt it, will be no hassle.

Hahaha!!

I won’t be in the market for a year or two. Then again, if the magic numbers come up on one of the few times I actually DO the lotto it’ll be sooner!

.........f he likes the cruiser engine sound then he can just stick on an aftermarket exhaust

hehehe...apologies Zubair,

fitted a Black Widow Stainless system to mine. It was so loud (to my tender ears) that I removed and dismantled it, and sent photos to the supplier to see if the baffle was missing. Not knowing what I was talking about, I assumed a baffle was a screw-in piece in the muffler - which I couldn't see. Turns out it was fine and my ignorance was exposed. Edit : yes I found out what a baffle was and sure enough there was one there

When I drive down the road, heads turn and people look behind me for the cruiser. ok, I made that bit up.

Btw the lads in Bray Honda Centre have Deauville 650 for sale for €1500.
I would highly recommend those guys.

Haha, I had the black widow on my cbf1000 so I know exactly what you mean. I've also heard them on the deauville. Really loud.

What kind of dope puts "learner legal" on a bike ad in this day and age, anything is learner legal if you have the right class of learner permit.

Can't believe they're asking €1850 for that yoke, they should be embarrassed to ask €500 for it. But really it belongs in a skip.

Oh, and cruisers suck!

Oh mate you mustn't spend half your day looking at bike ads 🀣🀣
Every other dope sticks it on, it honestly drives me insane .
Excuse you sir vrods, road kings, evos, magnas, I rest my case.
That does belong in a bin though.
