    Great video and I really want to go the the IOM for a week now... not now, obviously, when it's dry. Own goal for Honda though.

    From that lot I really like the Suzuki and the Kawasaki. Although I can't get my head around spending that much on a bike, let alone over 20k.

    Enjoyed that. That bloke sat on the right (with hair) sounds just like Gary Neville.

    Yet another example of why so many say "thanks but no thanks" to the free trackers manufacturers offer.

    Disappointing that the Honda didn't get a fair road test. Looks to me like Honda UK weren't involved supplying this bike. 44T didn't appear to make any attempt to get the bike running again.
    I was more spooked by the fact the clocks went blank.

    Maybe us customers wouldn't get support from Honda uk either if our bike broke down in the IOM ;)

    It would be good to see it running next to the other bikes though.

    The consequences of such a failure don’t bare thinking about. Ok it was an easy fix, (that’s what they tell us), it’s a pity YN didn’t investigate it himself first. I fear another recall coming on. I’ve already got 2 on this 3R.
