Anyone know much about these bikes as my eldest son's about to buy one
Seems like a bit of a beast but thats his choice whats your thoughts guy's cos i know some of you have bikes

Hubba hubba hubba! I dunno much about them but I know people love 'em. Not a sports bike as such, but it's still a good way to rack up those points...

MCN review There's plenty of xjr forums too, which must be worth a read.

A couple of my mates have got the XJR13, they rave about them! No problems have cropped up yet and they are riden year round.
*As teamy pootles along on his 500*

How old is your son though as the insurance may be a bit steep!

I had a look through on the TDM forums, they're usually critical of other bikes (especially Bimmers ) but all I found was they're rather juicy and they can rot rather badly if left to the elements. The only other comment was not as big and heavy as you'd expect.

Actually that's a point, watch out for the finish on the clutch & genny covers; they don't like salt.
