New addition to the Beenz household

I really miss my SV even though I love the Gixer that followed. The Gixer is a superb bike that handles really well, goes much faster than I'm capable of going on the road and has quality components. Unfortunately I'm pushing up the miles on runs where I cannot really appreaciate the bike, commuting to work over the 40 miles becomes frustrating although the bike is more than capable short darting through traffic is not what its for.

Rememdy, another bike to complememt the gixer.

OK, I apologise that she's not an SV, but I wanted something that would work well as a genuine all year round bike, comfortable, cheap to service and economical to run but also top fun to ride. Not fast (top end compared to the SV) but cracking fun in traffic and legal road speeds on the lanes. I couldn't get a deal on a naked SV but did get a cracking interest free deal on the new Yam MT-03. After 300 running in miles in two days an no chicken strips, she ticks all the boxes. Another 300 to go till first service on Friday. So far, loving it. :)
