I look forward to your thoughts once the "honeymoon" period has passed (especially on the motor & gearbox). Though I must admit, strangely, I still appear to be in mine some 10 months down the line . . . Never had that happen with any other bike before

Surely you must know someone with a camera, computer skills and who would be able to put up a picture without trying to take the piss.
Even I managed 2 out of 3.

Enjoy the new steed Tez.

Lots of love
Rosco

Even better terry when weather permits I will meet you at settle, Devils bridge or hawes & see it in real life.

Paul

Good idea Paul, I'll pm you as soon as the weather improves.

Which season do you think that would be in?

By the time I'll see ya, you'll probably have 10k on the clock.

I'll be at the Welsh do, and BM, see ya then.

Enjoy Terry, when you get it and are able to get out - roll on better weather.

I will look forward to it terry, roll on Spring.

Paul

Big drum roll, hurrah hurrah its arrived and sitting proudly in my garage, the sun is shining, but cant ride it until 1.3 16 Boo.

Whoop whoop.

New bike smell - I'm sure you'll enjoy her Terry.
Break her in gently mind

Cheers
Rosco

That's downright cruel bike in garage, sun shining and you can't go out Roll on Tuesday.

Enjoy Terry, looking forward to seeing you disappearing off into the distance as per usual.

Cheers
Billy

Mind it's a leap year.
Don't go jumping on it on the 29th.

Must be torture having the new bike & not being able to have a little go. Lots of salt down though anyway!

Enjoy terry, can't wait to see it

Paul

Hope you've been able to get out on your new bike Tez.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts, cant use it yet, pissing down this morning, its dried up a bit now, but still loads of salt on the road.

If your waiting to avoid salt and wet weather then I'd expect to see you on the road for a week in July.... if your lucky haha
I have to say you have immensely more patience and self control than me. I'd have been out on it before it got into my garage lol

Well, got out on it Friday and today, was a little apprehensive at first as I haven't ridden for over 5 months, but within 5 miles it all came flooding back. The accuracy of the steering is amazing after the Honda, and whilst I had the CBF I thought that it was fine. This device is in a different league though, and the brakes, bloody ell definite brick wall quality. Only slight downside is the suspension is a little on the harsh side, but its very early days yet and it might ease off with more miles (and I might get a bit more used to it) and of course I can always back it off a little. Riding position is a little on the sporty side of what I'm used to, but I think I'll probably adapt to it, all in all I'm one happy old git.

Pictures please!!!!
