So while working in the garage I had this big idea, I mean this one was huge. I had been looking round for the next bike to be introduced into the garage and I realised that I had all the relevant biking styles (that I am interested in ) covered. In the tourer corner is the Hayabusa (and for high speed hi-jinks) in the naked corner is the Bandit (and for high speed hi-jinks) and in the track day corner is the Aprilia RSV.
