I've opted for a Triumph Explorer (cast wheeled) in white...getting free panniers, heated grips and seat and first service...gonna be a long couple of weeks...

The Ktm is cleaned and prep'ed for trade-in and ain't gonna be ridden until I take it to them...not gonna risk it lol

Good deal.
I got £500 off and that's all.
But it's because I couldn't wait till the hubbub of the new one died out.

I've only just got my low seat this week.

What colour you plump for?
White
After market exhaust!?
I've got a Fuel Diablo on the 800.
Much nicer

That white is really nice, good metallic flecks. Just before the new regs so things thrown in...they have June targets to meet

All this talk of new bikes makes me want one! Although I haven't ridden the one I have got much this year..! lol

Booked a track evening on 29th June with No-Limits if anyone else is up for it? My father-in-law is doing his very first time on track at 62 years of age on a Bandit 1200 - should be fun

Well the new toy is home and it's so effortless to ride, the running in is torture though! First 100 miles < 3.5K RPM then < 5K RPM for a while longer still....need to get past the first 100 tomorrow so I can keep with motorway traffic on Monday lol....so much for running at varied revs all the time too, kinda hard on the motorway, might need a detour or three...

Tiger800xrx run in
First 20 miles full throttle and rapid shut off.
Bed them rings home.
Next 280 miles measured acceleration. Mixed up the revs.
300 changed oil.
Maprill Meat Run.
Steady acceleration up to 3/4 throttle.
600 service.
Then ride sensible until it freed off.
1000 up. Goes well with no oil consumed since the 600 service 1800 miles in.
Still with the bias belt front and the PR 4 to go on.
Hopefully your get more ground clearance on the Explorer!!
Need to book mine in to MCT to get the front suspension tuned though

Yep I know about that breakin process, did it with the Ktm and still needed quite a bit of oil lol

I'm sticking to the letter on this one, it's a shaft drive so I figure the run in is as much for that too...first service is already booked for next Friday, won't be long

I'm ringing bikesure in a mo as it looks like my updated insurance documents are the original ones...could have rode home with no insurance last night!
edit: bike was insured, just rubbish process to provide detailing immediately...

It's quite difficult to give a 1200 the beans and keep your licence to be honest

Now your running it in you can get the rockets wheels powder coated
