I thought the reason for not having a belly pan was to help the cooling on the exhaust? Given the absolutely immense heat it seems to generate under fast riding, I'd be worried about my bellypan going up in flames tbh.

I vaguely recall something along those lines too. The whole bike is fairly 'open' for that reason I think. I like it.

Great to see a different bike and glad you're enjoying it so far, Matt. thumbup The mirror paint work is ace. They had one at OYB in Aylesbury this past weekend, and I'm just not sure why they keep on demo'ing this bike by just revving the nuts off it. It's loud. We get it!

This sounds like a good opportunity for a challenge.

You both have new bikes, The first one that posts a wheelie pick on said bike wins a virtual pint + 1000 man points biggrin

Seen a couple at Poole quay bike night. They're impressive but a little tacky looking.

went out this morning to Honey Cafe in Wales as as per normal within 20 mils of being in Wales it started to rain. Bike looked like st after but she's cleaned now than fk

570 miles on her in 5-6 weeks and time to book in the 600 mile service next week so I can use full power all the time. HAHA maybe not

First time today I used the rain mode and my god felt like I was riding a 125cc bike. cuts the power greatly and also the engine braking. was not fun indeed but I can understand why it's there. sort of. I try and be smooth so anyone ham fisted would possibly find this mode helpful

I don't think the R10 Bridgestone's are going to last past 1000 miles. But had no issues using them in heavy rain when it came down. and they seems to be very good in dry weather.

pics from today.









before day out in chepstow

almost home

and then cleaned again

Still averaging around 32MPG and after the service going to see how low I can get wink

It's certainly different. The ones I've seen have a fantastic Finnish that pictures just can't capture.

No worries. Saw one on the way to Bettws-y-coed. First I have seen on the road, they certainly have road presence. Have to say the front headlight isn't very visible, looks cool though.

The Mate I was out with know's I like bright colours and why I went for a Blazing orange speed triple and Repsol. So was not impressed when he though I was going for a black bike

He is not impressed seeing it in person.

What I love is one min its gray, then black then mirror etc...

6 weeks into ownership and almost 600 miles and loving the thing.
