I borrowed one for a couple of days from the dealers, I would have liked a bit more braking on the front but I always like twin discs so probably just me. Expand My mate must have asked for the risers then as the bike is new out the box. I didn't ask him how much the bike cost, but he aint short of a quid. Not that interested really but good for him if it makes him happy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It was a 2019 bike, it was a test ride bike and in a straight line no problem but put a corner in its way and try and negotiate it at anything but a walking pace and the boards would ground out with just the smallest whiff of lean angle. Yes the engine had some low down torque but ran out of puff way too fast and it was constantly up and down the box.
