First service today!

First oil and filter change today, and my first experience of the 'courtesy bike'!

Now, I don't want to go upsetting any owners, but I decided inside 100 yards that the Honda Deauville isn't for me!

Christ, it had only done 400 miles, but felt about 10 years old, and what about that nasty plastic screen quivering about making me go cross eyed!!!

I don't often get into this forum so which bike do you ride?

[julianb]

CBR600RR, so it's a little different!

The Deauville's ride position was very relaxed though!!!

I was just curious, but I understand why you would find the dullville somewhat ancient. I was considering buying a dullville about 8 years ago or so, can't believe they still make them. Still horses for courses I spose.

I found the worst bit the shaft drive. When pulling away it felt almost as if the bike was being held back - a dangerous sensation at junctions!!! But it was the vibration that did my head in...
Getting back on the CBR, was like comparing a worn old bread knife with a scalpel!!!
