Lovely that mate, nice but cold today, time to get some miles under her belt, get that limiter taken off.

Happy days!!

Looking good, getting mine tomorrow.
Will be a tropical 2-3 degrees up here so not sure I'll be riding much. Enjoy!

Fantastic!

Leaving in 10 minutes to pick mine up, and the sun's out! See you at Box Hill

I cannot for the life of me, think who on god's earth is going to let that exhaust on a UK track (Almeria here we come again). It sounds the complete nuts. Love it love it love it!!!! Pops and backs like a goodun.

Never have I ridden a bike that turns and stops like this before....So long Gixxer.

Just done 60 miles on mine, been trying race shift out and have to say the bike is pukka, clipons seem in a better position than the 2012 bike and slightly longer which suits me and so far I can't fault it , ddc is awsone and love the quick shifter can't wait for the sun and to get the limiter taken off

Picked mine up this morning from Pidcocks. I've got to say what an Awsome bike, don't really no we're to start, the ddc is brilliant, the quickshifter/downshift is brill once you get used to it. The exhaust may look a little ugly but it sounds like a bsb bike, cruise control on the M1 is an absolute godsend through the 50mph roadworks. Overall compared to my 2011 bike which is great the new one is fantastic, I haven't even had chance to try the launch control or pit lane limiter. Roll on summer days and iom tt.

Hey budgie, nice bike, congrats. Are those hp bits the same as the previous model?

I cannot get past that exhaust though, my bad.

 

[Budgie]

Hi soofsayer the hp levers and rear sets are different to my 2011 bike, i know what your saying about the exhaust tho. The wheels and belly pan were painted by my twin brother.

Hey budgie the wheels look the biz mate. My HP4 wheels in matt black i'm not sure about. I have never had wheels that are so dam hard to clean though.
Have you noticed how hard you have to push the gear lever on down shifts?

 

[Loupe]

I can't open pics, do I have to be a member to access?

 

[Billo01]

Hi Loupe, I logged in to see the pics, otherwise I could just see the attachments.

You getting yours today?

I found this on the demonstrator I took out, I had to apply some force to the lever on downshifts, also I found it wouldn't go up from 2nd to 3rd, the gear lever would just hit a dead stop. If I rolled off the throttle a bit then it would then snick in. Mentioned it to the dealer but he's still yet to take it out and disprove me. Having said that I had to adjust the clutch lever play on the test ride, I'd find myself rolling up to a stop with it still in 3rd as it wouldn't change down to first or neutral. Pissed me right off on the test ride but sorted that one anyway. I just put the other problem down to set up maybe, as they'd changed the footrests to the Gilles and maybe this has interferred with the shift set up, dunno really. Still getting one though haha
