Just thought I'd post a wee picture of my new bike. Only had it since 5pm today, been around and about, broke the 100mph barrier and generally scared myself.
Going from a 125 (with a smaller front sprocket) to something that does a similar top speed in second gear is pretty ummm, refreshing.
Only other thing, since my helmet has never travelled at more than 65 odd miles per hour, it turns out that if you breach 75mph it starts resonating in a disturbing way. Not joking, its a Caberg Trip 2 and it has to be the noisiest helmet in existence.
On the upside, the new bike has a Micron can on it, when idling it burbles but give it the welly and it snarls, Grrrr!
Great fun.  |

I didn't think it would be my type of colour either, always had black or silver cars, my 125 is silver and black; all very nondescript.
I feel like a hooligan on this and I kinda like it.
