Well managed around 30/40 minutes on this today, had planned longer but I had a burst pipe I had to sort out.. courtesy of the Junkie **** that lives above a vacant apartment I have a sale agreed on !.. his mother (fortunately) lives right across the landing from him in this block of 6 units, she had to find out where he was ( in some geezers totally wasted it turns out) jumped in her car, got his keys and brought them back, we both got in to find the cold water feed was the culprit, and of course it went bang when I pulled the machine out.. the pressure locally is in the 3-5 Bar region...the stop cock was behind the machine so I had no choice, needless to say as I pulled out the machine I royaly ripped his vinyl and the stopcock which hasn't been operated since the dinosaurs roamed was almost solid... what a mess..the owner who is in Dubai knows nothing as of yet.. and to compound matters my phone screen took a sickie and wasn't working ever again.. so new phone ordered... anyhow, what was I saying..
WOW.. hahaha, WHAT A BIKE !.. it's been a long time since I had a grin on my face after a blast on a machine, this is some tool, razor sharp handling, accelerates beautifully, fueling feels good, light and extremely nimble, front brakes are just sensational, riding position is spot on too... need to sort out the front and rear suspension, too soft at the front and rear compression far too firm, the exhaust note from the SC was on the asbo side but I forgot all about that as soon as I got her up to a good pace and she started to howl.... my fingers were getting cold completely forgetting the heated grips I had fitted, this made things even better.. there's no question it's way more track orientated than a road bike though even in such a short space of time I can tell this is a keeper, I thought my HP4 turned heads, this thing is on a different plane sitting at the traffic lights.
I had setup the custom map to extreme parameters last night, the engine braking was a bit fierce and needs played with, a smoother comedown after gunning it feels the way forward.. I'm going to buy ECU Studio software kit turning my choices into endless permutations oh and changes the QS to full blipper, that alone justifies the money.. what a bike and a blind buy at that..
