Think i'll be keeping this for a while.

Long suspenders, twin engine, big wide bars. This is the bike I should have bought instead of the Triumph. The Triumph just didn't match my riding.

Its just a sublime bit of kit. Loads of torque, loads of grip and it can be hustled all over the place. Massive wide bars for good leverage, and the brakes being Brembo radials are just so confidence inspiring. The WP suspension soaks up every bump in the road.

The seat however, is like a plank and after 150 miles today, I was hurting! Either need to put miles into the seat or get a gel option.

Brilliant brilliant bike. Cant wait to go out on it again.

I'm surprised that I dont see more on the roads. Unbelievable machines and more than a nod to some level of practicality.

Nice ride 8)

How about a "Sweet Cheeks" to make the seat more comfy? Have to admit I did raise a smile when I saw one!
