He had my mates new SM990 on the bench .
It looks MUCH nicer than the old 950-bigger tank,rev counter off the SD etc etc.

He also gave me the latest Powerparts Street 2008 catalogue which arrived today and includes all the RC8 stuff:

He said the white demo RC8 should be in early next week,so I should be able to get on it by next weekend for a spin,possibly before the 'launch' next Saturday.
And your bike should be down in May,Rick !!!
