And here's two from a ride the other day, finally managed to get my knee down properly on this bike. Since getting new tires and boots it's been a real chore. But they're both worn in now.

Lovely, very jealous!!!

But please get some R+Gs, not sure those current bungs are up to the job (just my opinion though)

Where about did you go?

I think a Chixxer is going to be my next bike. I really like the look of yours, or maybe the stelth black one.
Either way how do they handle??

Remember the run up to beachy head from eastbourne seafront? the 2nd shot's the really tight max speed 15 corner. not totally great on left handers yet, not a decent enough shot of going round it right. managed about 40 that way, pretty scary.

1st shot is one of the corners after the restaurant up top as if you're going towards berling gap, where they finally decided last year to resurface the road for some speed skateboarding event.

handling- took a fair bit of getting used to compared to the SV, seating position is a lot higher and crouched over. turns quick and tracks really well round corners. feels very comfortable, but then i'm not overly tall/portly. reckon you'd get on with it no problem.

No mate, it's on the custom plate as it is. But it's now back to a regular sized plate as i got pulled over the other day about 1 minute from my flat n got a fixed penalty for it. Wasn't overly happy. The copper did mention my baffle had fallen out but said don't worry about that. And that they'll generally turn a blind eye to exhausts as long as there's little else to draw attention to the bike.
