This is my first big bike!!

I love it to bits even though there was a few hiccups to begin with such as not running properly due to being stood and the wiring needing cleaning up and the battery on its last legs but for a 2004, FSH one owner 32k machine for less than £1900 I think I've done pretty well!!

I've had a few good but short runs, nothing outrageous, a few speed spurts but I'm improving my skills and confidence on it and finding my limits but without getting on the wrong side of em!

I'm not one for going daft and certainly ain't no motogp wannabe. I am enjoying it and loving the power!

They're quite good fun - lovely torquey motor in em.

I did find the lack of 6th gear a little annoying at times, and the fuel consumption when provoked was very very poor.

Hopefully you enjoy it Thumbs Up


Yeah find it could handle another gear but then so could most vehicles.

I'm hoeing to pop down to Newark on Sunday to the jumble. That should be a nice run with the father in law.
