Took advantage of an early evening sunshine and no rain to take the beast for a short run...about 30 miles around the Cheshire country roads, and well impressed with the handling...feels very stable, gearbox is a dream....and the power is there whenever you need it.... gonna do few short runs out to get to know the bike, and then look forward to going out for a day in North Wales or the Lake District before organising weekend tours. (Scotland booked for five day tour in September), need one well before then. :)
