Note to non-motorcyclists: Most bikers fall into one of two camps, either preferring the sporting style (think: race bikes) or custom style (think: easy rider), and the less enlightened in each camp tend to think the other style to be one letter less than 'swanky'; none of that here on TPF of course! BTW if it turns out you had/have a Vmax I'm going to be jealous!

What is a fizzy?

You do realise that if Phil wins this we'll all be given Maths homework to do? Is that what you had in mind? Because that's what you've done.

It is the common name for the FS1E.

next guess: DT50 and Vmax

Easy Tiger, we are obviously in different camps

Phil's turn again anyway. He's off looking up bikes after your 'clue'.

Ow. Broken legs?
Where's Phil gone, he was busting to guess...

Roadside barrier head on. Don't know what happened next but when I woke up I had no jacket on and the bike had no handlebars. Ouch-tastic.

I was helping them with their enquiries.

It's good to be helpful. Now where's Phil, so that I can win this..?

Nope, I don't have a camp, I like some of both; as I said, we're more enlightened at TPF; Mine's a VFR800i, I just always liked the look of the Vmax (though not for taking round corners!).

Major ouch, both for you and the fact it was at 5 days old

I was thrown by the "worse than a fizzy" - am now struggling to think of worse ones; was the moped-style one with the awful white leg-guards a Yam? (am thinking it was probably Honda though...)

Do you think Phil is calculating the highest number in the world so that he can divide it by infinity and multiply it by a black hole so that he can ask us the next question?

And then add the square root of a triangle. Yeah. That's why you need me to win.

But I'm spending X hours driving to London this evening so won't be playing. By the time I log in your and Owen's brains will have exploded all over the forum.

Nope, just busy working; I do have a [non-math] question ready though, in case I accidentally provide a correct answer.

ok, giving in and using google, I don't remember other baby Yam models: T80?
