At present I have a 1999 Yamaha XJ600S Diversion and a Kawasaki EN500, but
when we change the Diversion next year we will get a Fazer 1000 - A real
wolf in sheep's clothing as it is in sports/touring trim but develops
145bhp and weighs just under 500 pounds.

At the other end of the scale I have perhaps got the daftest car on the
list - a Reliant Rialto three wheeler ;-)
