Done about 330 miles so far, its awesome, took it to elan valley yesterday, even though i had to keep the revs under 5k, its still quick.
Bloody heavy with a pillion though, you dont notice the weight while riding, but stationary and pushing it around you can feel the difference from the sv.

I find mine so much easier to ride with a pillion compared to my 650 and 1000.

It is also easy to ride all day long, where as on the 1000 my legs were killing me after about 150 miles.

This summer will be a good test for mine - I am doing GM3 (500 miles from home just to the campsite

), AR10 and a trip to France in September

Once the wife gets used to leaning a bit through the corners and relaxing a bit it will probably get easier.
Got a few questions actually matt, im gonna start a thread later, need a few bits and bobs, see what other sprint owners have / recommend.
I could go onto a trumpet forum, but i like this one

I plan to do 3-4k this year on the sprint, maybe more, should be nicely run in by then
