Thanks for the feedback. They do seem good value. My Revere is 89/90 so I will be looking for a younger bike.

Interesting second person tonight to say that about cornering. I think McF may be right. I need to try one.
Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the thought Sky, I know she has been well looked after, but unlike your new bike she does not do it for me.
Thanks anyway.

Hi i have a 1990 kat and am a member on the katrider website ........gypsypunk my only wish is i just bought a ntv and sadly i found out it is a pain in the neck to work on so now i have no choice but to run my gsx750f what a great bike the gsx750f is not the most economical i get 40 miles to the gallon but a fast 40 miles i like the ntv and only done 200 miles after i bought it before took the exhaust off to fit the centrestand the previous owner took off but now the bike is in peices ''opened a can of worms''
i just replaced the sparkplugs and boots on the gsx750f no need for special sockets like the ntv and no need to take the airfilter off or the carbs and then the bloomin valve cover to find the honda joke of the decade. the front sparkplug has no clearence............ i am going to start a new tread '' i hate the ntv frame''

Thanks for the feedback on the 750. Next thing is to sit on one and try out the sitting position.

. Next thing is to sit on one and try out the sitting position. the seat is comfy the best i have sat on in all the bikes i have had i am 5.10 and my feet dosent fully touch the ground unlike the ntv the seat is alot higher my soles touch the ground not my heels but on some roads they do but on a flat surface they dont. i have contemplated getting the bike lowerd. the riding position is alot diffrent to the ntv the gsx750f is more sports bike than cruiser but as a touring bike i couldnt use it as ifter a hour of motorway riding i got sore hands and i know this because i rode the same journey to view the ntv i bought on the gsx750f and then rode the ntv back the same journey and didnt experience sore hands but your arms are more in a stress position on the gsx750f the ntv feels like a cruiser that you sit upright on. maybe my body frame dosent suit the gsx750f i am 5.10 and 12 stone just a fast bike i cant bare to get rid of it but i really want my ntv back on the road i think i am going to love my ntv a lot better
