I see another launch of a 750cc vertical twin, this time by the big Red Honda, I hear rumours of Suzuki having one in the pipeline. So the format that was King when I was growing up, lost favour has now returned. I must say a modern 750 class vertical twin has a lot going for it. 😎👍

Bloody unreliable R1150's I only cobbled together a used Hall Effect Sensor with my existing loom plug and wiring in 2009 and now last weekend it started missing, its failed in that original 1999 loom section, ridiculous.  ::)

I had a UVEX Enduro helmet, non-Carbon, it gave good service but eventually got tired, especially the visor got floppy. I have a UVEX Enduro helmet,Carbon, it has been good but again, the visor is getting tired, floppy, would a new visor help/fix it? Or does it need the shell mounting implants...
