148bhp perfect for the road? What police and traffic-free part of the country do you live in? My SSI IE has 100 and I would say I still get more out of it on the track than the road
I was thinking of a Duke 690 for the roads where the police don't go. The bacon tends to hang out on the popular back roads of Yorkshire, i.e. fast swooping B roads. The bumpy tight narrow ones is the future. Still not sure I would want 148bhp on those, though!
