Thought I?d start a post in here with pics etc of my ownership. Not much has been happening considering the time of the year however I did manage to get out on the 29th of December for 45 miles and I?ve already experienced some problems.......but I?ll get to that.
Some pics in the showroom
collection day
i must admit the whole experience had been really good, having a tour around the whole facility, through the workshop to collection day, fantastic experience.
After riding the bike home
first impressions of the bike - I love it. For me personally the riding position suits me better, the narrower tank does wonders for my knees and the issue I have with my left leg, I find it absolutely ideal for me. The ride home was roughly 65 miles in not ideal conditions but the handling and power felt really good, I?ll have to wait until the better weather to delve into that deeper but so far so good.
The brakes are phenomenal, really sharp, I can see me having plenty fun knowing I can reduce my speed very quickly, will look forward to taking the bike on track as I can imagine they?ll be extremely brilliant in that environment. The shifter is awesome, the downshios with blipper is addictive, my first experience of this on a bike and I must admit, I love it.
The sound of the bike is amazing, it has the akrapovic slip on cans which is all it needs, it?s very loud. I very much like the dash, I like the display and I like the ease of use with setting stuff up, or scrolling through the settings.
So first impressions are good. Just need the better weather now.
