Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
No, my name isn't Geoff but thanks for the comments. The comments so far on the Burgman seem to be pretty good. The seat upholsterer and me came to the conclusion that my a*rse is too big for the sv650A seat ,but a lighter thinner person would probably be ok, especially with the gel insert he put in.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
How about the H***a X-ADV 750? Looks mad, reasonable twin cylinder lump, DCT automatic gearbox, scooter comfort. Basically an NC750 in mad clothes.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
I think the engine is basically the same as the NC700X that I had which was pretty dull. My Honda dealer salesman himself wasn't exactly enthusiastic about it when I mentioned it to him a while ago, but he tells it like it is (or at least how he thinks it is ) in relation to bikes I might like. They do look quite good though.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
It is high by comparsion to other bikes but the seat height was ok for me. Slightly lower than my DRZ which I can't get flat footed on. I'm almost flat footed on the Tenere. Seat comfort was a different matter though. Screen height was slightly wrong for me. There are options though. I had a good hour on it. Enough to be realistic about what was right and wrong and overall the right things about it made up for few issues.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Car front brakes sorted yesterday, had to resort to buying a blowtorch.

They are worth having. I've used my so many time since investing in it a few months ago. Any sign of something being stuck and I get out the fire. Makes easy work of otherwise frustrating jobs.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Should have gave in earlier than I did. 2/4 bolts came out with relative ease, one needed prolonged impacting and the other was set on fire. The discs were badly lipped and starting to crumble so it was just in time! The rear pads/discs can wait until I'm on holiday again, at least now I have made the job easier for myself.
*I believe this is the first time the car has had new discs, perhaps also new pads. The air and oil filters +spark plugs were definitely put in by Nissan on the line. |
