I've missed having such a tidy bike... this hits the spot perfectly Mr. Green

Fantastic riding...1 or 2 small issues I'll need to look into but it feels good being back on a bike with a tank range longer than my arm.

Quiet, Superb handling (beats the Thundercat, piece of cake) and I really enjoy riding it..comfy after a while!

Only issue, I watched the fuel gauge drop and the power delivery is quite linear, those aside... its pretty good. Thoroughly happy Thumbs Up

power delivery changes a lot with a race can. get a good kick in the arse at 10k rpm.

They are pretty thirsty bikes but if your running low and want to make it home then keep it below 5.5k as i believe the dual injectors kick in after that which i figure will use more fuel Laughing

Did a few trackdays on mine and you could definately watch the fuel bars drop off lap after lap. I thought it was leaking fuel somewhere but no...it was just thirsty Laughing

Made of win.
Can I have a go mister? Wink
Probably my favourite bike, in terms of looks, ever made.

I get the feeling that one day, my inner sensibility is going to snap, and I'm going to just say 'fuck it, let's get a litre bike'.

Shortly followed by doing an X into the nearest tree.

While riding around in the sun today I stumbled apon a lost creature. I decided to bring him back to mine for a cuppa as he looked rather lost.

After a quick brake adjustment and a cuppa I sent the poor sod on his merry way. I must admit though. He did have a huge grin on his face.

Lovely looking bike mate.

I'm really pleased for you.

Next time I see you, you will have to give me a go and you can have a go on mine.

The last time I said you could take my bike out (which you didn't take me up on as I was leaving and you were being polite- even though I would of happily waited) you had the Thundercat which I was up for riding having never ridden one before but I would rather have a go of this one any day.

Enjoy it mate

Thumbs Up

Was that the lazy release on the front brake light switch?
