I'm a bit funny about rechargeable batteries and heat.

yeah but it doesn't look cool when doing that on the back of a flatbed.

My BM is sat on the drive charging away merrily with the battery conditioning system keeping a decent temp, it isn't the hottest of hot days at 32 degrees (according to the bike on the way home that was happily charging it's rechargeable battery while I rode

I'm a bit late for my mid life crisis but 8 would do it for me.

Had 8's on the drive before mid-life (never had the crisis bit ) and that continued into the later stages. As I said to the salesman after a test drive when we got the first one - 'That's about as much fun as you can have - with your clothes on, we'll take it'. 
At the time they were the near perfect balance of, erm, just about everything. I think it was a Clarkson road test where he delivered the verdict 'Best British sports car ever made'.
that got me interested. (After he'd said sports cars make absolutely no sense in the UK - and he had a point).

I was hoping to get mine for August, but they've just done a minor model refresh and it will be October before I get it. Bit annoying...
