You get used to it Very Happy by all acounts they make much better off road bikes than the lardy gs..

Only complaint ive heared about these is noisey above 75 and squishy front suspension and questionable long term relyability on some ...had chance to test it propperly yet?

Any plans for mods/additions yet?

not that fussed about mods at the moment, cant see what could need doing

the suspension is very soft, but i like that, makes the whole thing feel faster than it is, and makes for a very comfortable ride

front dive under braking can be balanced out with the back brake, still practicing, but it can stop very quickly when required

done lots of miles already, london to portsmouth and back to london, and onto peterborough, all no fuss at all, comfortably cruises at 90mph, cant say i notice excessive noise but i wear ear plugs, doesnt vibrate, seat is comfortable, buffeting is minimal

returning 10 miles to a litre and a tank that has gone for 170 miles and still no reserve lights (i havent left it longer than that) so 40+ mpg, whatever a litre is into a gallon Razz

heated grips, and centre stand from triumph are the only real things on the list atm
very very happy with it Smile

good link btw, cheers for that Razz

Litres -> gallons ~= x 0.22

So 10mpl /0.22 ~= 45mpg, which strikes me as pretty damned good for one of those beauties. Thumbs Up

cruising at 90mph in top is only 6k RPM so doing that for a whole tank, must be an economical engine speed or something Thumbs Up
