The R6 has landed

Not a demonstrator...sold new from George Whites Swindon. Old fella who bought it apparently couldn't see the speedo with his glasses . He didnt like the riding position either, which makes more sense. From what i can tell it seems pretty comfortable.

The real question is what is the seat made out of....spongecake?

Defo going to change the can...not sure what but ive always fancied an Akra or Yoshi.

More good news was £400 saved because of a few scratches here and there...exhaust has loads of marks on it(boots i guess...autosol?) and there is a little scratch on the tank...from a zip i assume. Tank protector will go over that though and £'s saved.

I also learned that when you give it a nice shampoo it leaks into the rubber mounts for the mirrors and when you fold them in as you cover it....they leak suds all over the freshly polished fairings....BAH!

Forgot to mention....my blue streak continues as the neighbours nanny(who looks well put together) got talking with me today as i was cleaning the bike. I had no contact before as i have been mr.grumpy with my knee.

There was talk of a pillion ride, but would i want to compromise the handling

very nice!!

She sure is pretty

ASM, how tall are you? When I had a test ride of one last weekend, I found it
a little cramped. I'm 6'1".
Lovely bike, if a little extreme for everyday road use imo.

Similar height to you Steve. Like i said its early days and first impressions are more comfy than i initially found the SV.

Its good to have a serial world champs endorsement
