I picked her up from Fowlers early this afternoon, it now has 71 miles on the clock Very Happy
She's restricted to 33bhp but compared to my unrestricted XJ600, it pulls like a train and is really funtastic!!
I've booked up the initial service for 2 weeks today so i'm gonna be having some fun keeping it below 6k rpm till then Razz

Cheers guys!
I'm gonna be getting a Scorpion Street Extreme when I can afford it, probably within the next month or two. I'm buying a hugger on Thursday, and i'll have a go at making myself a tail tidy with some sheet metal some time during this week or next.
Although it's restricted, i'm amazed at how powerful and responsive it is in comparison to my 75bhp XJ600 - I was expecting it to have a much slower pickup but it's pretty damn nice Wink

Just out of interest how much would these put the insurance up by?

i informed them of my can but not my tail tidy, and made no difference to my premium.

I suppose I should tell them about the can when I get it. It'll be in the same phone call as telling them about my second accumulated year of NCB though so hopefully they'll be giving me money back Wink

I've covered 420 miles in 4 days on the bike and my initial service is next Tuesday so i'm gonna have a little blaze on it this weekend.
I can't really describe how pleased I am with it!
