Thanks guys for your input. Ok, they may have said Vectra not Cavalier, I'd personally prefer to think Calibra (at least a bit more sporty but still the same chassis) And what do we think about tyre choice? Apart from 17" Aero wheels (which I will certainly look out for), what's the consensus on 15" rubber? I suppose it's very subjective. My start point is the two decent P6000s that are already on it. I also rate Contis quite highly having fitted these to my bike - top quality on the UK shitty winter roads and not too pricey. Once again, any views/experience gratefully received. D :-) PS as I'm getting more used to it I can push the old barge a bit harder. I find if I keep the power on all the way round the corners it behaves much better than without (when it feels like the front wheels are disappearing under me!)
