just rode my new bike home

first impressions: its fast soooooooo fast, scarey fast, stupidly fast
its seriously chuckable ,you dont turn corners you think about turning and it just does it
is it too small for me mmmmm yes, do i care no, just no long mway journeys and some rearsets and it all go
is it to powerfull mmmmm yes but it is a jump from the sv so softy softy catchy monkey
it pulls in any gear at rapid rates and i mean rapid
things learned from ride home, respect the right wrist cos its so easy to do triple digits instantainiusly,
i havent got it over 9000 rpm yet and its got 16000 on the meter
i am getting some more rider training to control the monster as im not up to anywhere near the standard to ride it near its potential
the suspenson is rock hard some fettling required
if it was my first bike id be dead
70% of my riding issues were down to confidance with my old bike, the change was the way forward
my forward planning on the this bike is twice what it was on the sv due to engine braking (or lack of) and tbh fear
speedplay is getting some serious lovin for finding me such a mint bike

now waiting on irksy coming round for a small bimble "softy softy"
in closing

ps did i mention its feckin fast

Well pleased for you dude. Always nice to see/hear of the 'stupid grin factor' a new bike gives.
