Well deposit is down.

Bike should be with me in the next week or 2 and can't wait
Well done Bud!!!! thumbup

Going to be the most painful couple of weeks biggrin
Just wait to you give it full beans in 3rd...... I reckon I'll hear the screams from here rofl
No more than 4000 revs for the first 500 miles !!! but from the sounds of it the low down torque is going to be fun.

And once I do open it up I think the screams will be heard around the world lol

pics soon

Congrats - be good to keep a thread going on living with one too. Lovely bit of kit!

I sat on one at the Excel and was also surprised at how comfy it was (I find the Blade perfect too). The rearsets just felt a little higher and further back.
I shall do just that.

Just not looking forward to the running in process

I bet they're all a handful.
As long as they concentrate on making them decent to ride. FI bikes faded into obscurity last time because the engineers couldn't make them as good to ride as N/A bikes.
Electronics have come an awful long way since then.
The H2 had lots of electronic toys that even my 5 year old blade never had. Amazing how things have changed in such a short time

omg omg it's almost time. Had a few pics from the dealer during the time they opened the box. And a few once the Akro is fitted.

Can't wait.

Not until next week. I asked them to give me 2 days notice before so I can arrange the insurance

Michael Rutter rode on at Almeria back to back with the 1299 Doocati thing in an article for this months PB.
He said it was quicker than anything he had ridden and was really good on track, you've bought a cracking bike there Remal.
I was reading the same BN

Can't wait.

Just trying to find a UK shop that sells either techspec or Stompgrips as google is coming up with US places only

Will you run it in as per the technique employed by 'from stock to' Brock? I've watched too many of these videos today...
Also read and watched the vids on running bikes in

I know the first 20-30 miles are very important. So intend to take it onto some back roads to Somerset and warm it up. I'm not going to rev the nuts off it but load up the bike on and off for the first 30 miles. After that unsure.

well had the call today that the bike is ready to pick up. Only problem I have is that I may be unable to pick it up tomorrow so may have to wait until next week frown

Fair enough though, tbh she sounds like she is as understanding as mine when it comes to big boys toys, so pays to keep them sweet smile
