Just got back from a 100 mile ride this afternoon.
What a bike....
I think when you post on this forum it's easy to forget - what a great bike we own. We are all guilty of thinking how to improve it... not how great it is as standard.
I love it.
For an A road (not sure what they are called in the states) blaster this bike hauls ass at an amazing rate. I LOVE the power, the handling and the overall smile the bike induces every time you sling a leg over it.
OK - it sounds pants with the shite mortat tubes in place (i am doing the R77
) and the brakes are a bit "i hope this stops..... oh yes im slowing down now" but apart from that, you can keep your manic gixer zx R1 thousands, for 90% of the time this bike plain makes sense. If you ride it at 70% i cant think of a better way to spend 4 hours and £20 worth of petrol...
I have spent the afternoon rolling on and off the throttle, laying it down in the corners, leaving my mate on a GSXR-600 and wife on SV650 behing everytime i do so, flowing round the bends, covering a 100 miles with ease.
I really cant wait for the summer.
Heres some pics from the ride out.
