dont worry about that one my man! iv done everything in my power to protect my new baby lol

before i brought it everyone told me "its a CG but prettier"

i dont believe so! the engine seems to have so much more power then my CG and seems to have a lot more staying power!

My old CG use to bitch and moan about staying at 55 but the XR seems to pull harder and faster then the CG!

Drinks more fuel tho!! my CG cost me £4/5 to do 100miles my XR costs me £7 so a bit of a jump lol wroth it tho!

its sooooooooo nice not having to kick start a bike any more! one press of a button and way we go Smile

You don't appear to have inidcators, so I would recomend popping the pilllion pegs off.

It is pretty looking.

I believe the sprockets are different which would give it more umpf. Also I'd suggest part of the difference is that your poor CG wasn't very well, 65mph should have been achievable with 30 miles to the pound

Cracking little bikes, my ex had one and I loved to play on it. 6'3" 20 stone male wasn't an issue at all.

It has indicators front and rear.

Could the difference in pulling power not be down to the different sprocket size on your bike and a cg? and would that not account for the fuel usage increase?, as the rear sproket looks a bit bigger than a cg from the image.

My fuel prices are about the same as my CG was. £7.50 or so every 150 miles.

I guess whereas I used to bimble around at 55mph on the CG, I now tend to cruise down to 45-50mph or so on the XR.

I don't really know how you've achieved this, because you look like a bloke that can handle himself - and this is a pretty manly bike - but you look ever-so-slightly camp in that photo.

LOL yeah i know what you mean!

The thing with the XR is that the cluch gets come getting used to! because give it to much revs off the lights the cluch kinda slips and then your back wheel spins haha
