Bought the ER6n in September and its finally just about run in now. Smile

When I ran in the Z last summer 2007, it was like wow, now I can open up and give it some.

But now its so cold, I can't even think about giving it a good full on thrashing, I daren't even lean too much the tyres are so cold. Rolling Eyes

I feel so much for the bike, its new and its seen salt, but its not even had its pegs down. Crying or Very sad

I even went on my normal run last week, but it was so cold and the twisties, weren't much fun with near static leans and legal speeds.

Bring on April.

You can still get the pegs down in near freezing conditions once the tyres have done a few miles to warm them up.

Run my 1150GS in in 3 days and the 600mile service was on the second day. Wink

Its 1000 miles on the ER6.

This is my going to work bike and my commute is 4 miles. When the weathers nice, I go out at lunchtime over the moores (about 40 miles in a normal lunchtime) , but the weathers been pants since i've got it.

At the weekend I use the Z.
