Do you know,

I think its rather nice.

I had the honda equivalent for my second bike after I sold my red NS 125, and it was about perfect really. (VFR400 NC21)
Is it restricted to 33Bhp? Wink

How about the brakes? do they feel okay after a 2-pot sliding piston caliper gripping a single disc? If not then they might need some attention.

Have fum and keep it ruber side down mate. Cool

The brakes feel fine, but as it's my first bike with twin front disc's for a long time I have no way of telling, but they feel fine at the moment.

The front forks have anti dive system and on one side the adjuster is missing, so i will have to get this checked out soon.

Also noticed that the cooling tank that sits in the bottom of the fairing is not fixed down, I have tied it up so that it does not butt against the exhaust, so I am now looking for the bracket for this.

The bike holds the road well too in the wet, it's got Bridgestone tyres front and back.

I cant find anything else wrong with the bike at the moment, in the middle of checking it all out. Just one other thing, no center stand, so looking for one of these too.

I can't complain really, I think I got a good deal for £480.00.

Nah, not in rush hour, I took my time as it's a new bike to me and felt strange after being on a small 125 jobbie.

I wanted to get the feel of the bike, so did the right thing and took my time to ride it home in the rain Razz
