last time i got my leg over i was climbing over a gate :D

well i went and collected the beasty, as normal it was raining :)

first impressions, it doesnt feel like a v twin, as in a storm engine, its fond of revs thats for sure.the riding modes make a huge difference.on damp roads in race mode it just spins everywere.

handling wise. the guy has is set up so wrong, front to much spring and no damping, the rear is soft with really slow rebound but honestly 20 mins and everything set to standard and ,i fecking love it and the twin brembos :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: unreal.

so here ya go, a bit dirty but thats easy sorted

Sure is pretty.
But a bit wide, we'll lose you filtering in stationary traffic queues.

How is the seat height for you?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Standard renthals on it Tony, so no biggie filtering.
I will say, they are no Low rider, so I can wait to see the Jockey on her.
Watch the front on slow bends/ stops, the front washed out on me twice for no reason at all.
Don't hassle me
I'll get there at some time

il wear a high heel on one boot :clap: .

went and got a new Road 5 on the rear, had some nice dry roads and i can say, i fooking love it, its pin sharp compared to anything iv had handling wise. goes well now iv had a chance to play on dry empty roads, more than il need so happy days..

and stu i hear ya lol it felt funny at the front when i changed the rear tyre so maybe a mismatch with the front, overall a happy bunny.

but its fond of those revs :lol: :lol:
