its not big and not clever to summit youve survived yet another winter,on two wheels,theres alot too look out for extra, slippy greasy roads (if they ever dry out cause of the safecoat they apply),and dusty slippy when there dry, car drivers with steamed up windows who dont lookout for the push/motor cyclist, cak cold weather,(oh yes you can wrap up with 4tons worth of warm gear,only for it to start to ming after a few wet ones,just like your (built to a price bike),and the go slows on the roads as emergency stops more than double with the conditions.(when youl most need to do em).so if you do ride the winter months,good for you,i did for years and years,yes it does give you more of an understanding of the road,but you could wet it out and learn in the warmer summer wet days,
when you only have the basic shite weather to act on, and by the end of the week your steed will still be there,and not a pile of brown and white efflourecense,.

cant wait all the same tho!
