XTreme Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Out before 10......but it was already 33 and rising! It was a round trip of 160kms so it had really hotted up by the time I got back around 12.30! The bike went brilliantly.....no fuss or drama, no oil leaks, and no warning lights! After recent experiences having peace of mind and total confidence in the bike makes a big difference. Worked it a bit harder on the motorway.....120KMH/70mph is around 6k revs but it's quite happy at that point. Not stressed in any way, and if you need to overtake there's plenty more there. I love the bike, it's smaller, lighter, and much easier to manage than the bikes I've had in recent years! Why do they keep making bikes that are the size of small cars FFS? And I also found when I parked up that the turning circle is incredible. Where I'd normally be doing a 3 point turn this just turns on a sixpence, and doesn't feel top heavy either. So all good AFAIC......besides the fucking heat that is! Here we go..... 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
