nice one

what's it like compared to the sv? Have ya had much time to ride it and get a feel for the differences?

cool, i tested a few of those. Lovely to ride. cracking suspension and jesus christ there fast without noticing it.

unfortunatly it just didnt "do it" for me. I really hope it works out for you because it was a nice bike and ticked every one appart from the heart

Yes had it about 3 weeks & done about 1000 miles on it.

Really nice bike, feels so good, perfect handling. smooth ride.

just trying to get used to the change from the twin. slight delay on power unlike the SV but overall really nice bike.

was going into by the R6 but wasnt willing to pay £380 for years insurance so will get the R6 next year.

CBR jumped out at me & love it.

Haven't seen the bike around town yet.
Good to hear you like it.

I work in Dyce & have started using the back road to stoney for the twisties.

took it on the slug the other night but the road is a mess.

Aye, I've seen you whizz past me in traffic a few times on the SV, usually just before the airport roundabout. Ah, the joys of a car driver :/

We had a run on the Slug in Aaron's people carrier, that was fun

.

Don't go on the Netherly either, way too much grit for proper fun.

Yes i love to upset the car drivers LOL you will prob see me on the CBR. give me a beep & i will know its you

Netherly isnt bad now, cleared up well. been going that way for the past week.

Don't worry, I use my mirrors

I took the bike out the previous weekend, took it pretty easy - first time out (not commuting) and said grit. Good to hear it's cleared up now.
