    Enough! Lol

    Am I not right in saying the deauville is neither A or A2 (unless restricted).

    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.

    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! :p

    Life ain't always empty.

    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.
