I love that bike you put up GT.

A lightweight motorcycle will handle more responsively regardless of the riders weight, uksurfers post is testement to that.

I realise how it works Stu, it's just the effect is not quite the same when you are over 100kgs! Loosing weight from the wheels and unsprung weight have the best effect then.

Just managed to do about 150 miles today so have gone over my 625 miles, so i will be booking in for my 'first' service shortly.

Fitted a tail tidy from Evotech, and have an exhaust system waiting to be fitted from SC-Racing which is a 2-1

After i had clocked my miles, i opened up to another 1000 rpm which makes it a bit more fun, really enjoying the ride of the bike, just find the rear shock a little bit hard still, so might need a slight tweak.

I am so glad now that i have moved to a new style - Enjoying it
