well quick update, I've done since owning 4000 miles this week . I am really loving the bike, the initial noise and under 3000 rpm rubble is always going to annoy me, but once up and running and past 4000revs its utter joy.

Comfort is amazing and being so high up gives great views along the road. It certainly tramps on, nothing else much after about 9000 but by then the torques done. It does wheelie if you give it some beans but I can't keep it up, old age kev! :lol: maybe, its been reliable after the slave cylinder so far. Fuel is good at about 210 mile between fill ups. It aint go no chicken strips and has certainly surprised a few bikes on Roundabouts. It feels weird chucking it into a bend as you seem to far away etc. Its deffo a keeper, i would still like the old Storm back for the odd 70 mile blast. I can't seem to find it though. Addictive noise and always looked good. But I am a Triple lover at the moment.

The MZ is a total blast on country roads but feels so small after the Tiger.

Still loving the biking and can't ever see that changing. Hope to meet up with some of you soon again.

I am always up for the Swanage , Ferry and Ice cream ride out if anybody is interested, I will still buy brekkie too.
