Bought the bike back on Sunday nite down the M6, easy 130 in 5th in the snow, it was like a scene from STAR WARS!!! When this momma hits 6000RPM the nose goes light and you hold on more. Heres a Pic of the little beauty:



I just want to ride it now, whens the weather clearing up??
It has some sweet indicators on, a great improvement over the originals.
It also has a "BLUE FLAME" can, road legal with removable baffles, and a Harris fairing mount so I can see the clocks when tucked down behind the dark tint double bubble screen.

At the moment I am happy with it, it was a little unsettled in the turns, needs some suspo tweaking, though they are new tyres, they still need running in

Just be careful with the tyres fella , a lot of crashes happen when people get fresh ones put on

Also bike looks sweet

Just had a look in the workshop manual, the rear tyre is a 180/55*17 but it should be a 190/50*17, how is that gonna affect handling? They were fitted just before I bought it, they still shine on the edges with oil and it squirmed like hell throught the bends wouldnt settle when leant over Hmmm
Will definately take it easy for a while and change the rubber when I get back from Spain MOTO GP in June, 2500 motorway miles will probably knacker this set anyway £££££££££££££££££££££

i thought they were meant to be a 180 section rear tyre mate, same as the 600 SRAD

nice looking bike, how cool do upside downies look just not a fan of the gold anodised bits
