    I saw an @ on sale today, in Christchurch, Dorset, if anyone is looking for one. 2000 model but I didn't have much time to look at it.

    We all know the TA is a much better bike, more versatile, more reliable, more comfortable, just as quick, better built, a better all-rounder. If the AT was so good Honda would still be makingthem - like the TA!!! I rest my case. They are only jealous.

    Of course everything is relevant Dr. Bollocks.

    Some people think standing in a town centre in flourescent all-in ones is "cool".
    Others think a Bandit 1200 covered in purple anodised fastners is "cool".
    Or perhaps you prefer to go for the rufty tufty look of a panniered up @ with knobblys on for the "cool" look.

    Each to their own whats cool to one is tacky ****@ to another :P

    One thing's for sure, I sure as hell aint gonna trade "up" (or is that down or sideways) to an @, just cos some bike journo thinks it's "cool"!
