Although it’s got stupid torque/power, I find the throttle response so good that it’s relatively easy to have complete control via your wrist, even in the wet.

I turned the traction control off an i think i will be leaving it off, yeah the power delivery is very smooth not twitchy like the 990 was. I had it in rain mode as it was shitty weather and felt good, its now fecking snowing so all i have done is fit rizoma reverse retro mirrors, fecking expensive lol. I need to adjust the angel of them but that can wait till the snow fecks off.

Im a photographer excuse the shitty smartphone out of focus pic.

I tend not to like bar end mirrors but those are nice, I’m tempted.
I would be interested to hear how you get on with them from a visibility perspective.
Do they fold up easily, in order to get through a narrow gap?

Mine is going into hibernation this weekend u

Yeah will let you know, can't see me getting out until the griting is stopped abs roads washed clean with rain March lol. The mirrors do rotate but cant see me wanting to do that too much, you can turn them in the way but you would not see as much, will let you know next time im out.

Need to stop bought bar end mirrors, bought new seat and not just forked out for the luggage but a bonus is saved a fair bit of money with the Black Friday deals. I went for the KTM soft panniers, mostly because i have Kriega and as I'm a photographer i always want to be taking photos and the kriega stuff is good but a pain in the arse to get stuff in and out on a regular basis. I don't fancy a tank bag, never liked them.

Hope they've improved the locking mechanism of the sort panniers to the frame since the SMT ones - I've had one of mine eject and go down the road, losing the catch in the process.

FYI i went for a short 30mile run today and tbh the bar end mirror give me more visibility than the stock mirrors. It was pissing it down so did not stop for photos to show you.
