Massive heat shielded monstrosity under the seat

Brakes are great(radial brembo's rebadged I believe)

Front sus needs adjusting but its showa so a visit to dave hagon here should sort that.

Three ignitions modes sport touring and rain.

very responsive in sport (some hamfisted types on forums would say snatchy & unridable)

The same people moan about small throttle opening surging in sport mode.

ITS SPORT MODE!. change it to touring on the fly if you have to tour for a few miles in traffic.....

Generally nicely engineered, I tidied some wiring up which I think was from the previous owner.

mine was 4k. 2009 with 5.5k miles on it.

I love it!.

Further additions are - bash guard for oil filter area. Refit or replace handguards(missing off mine). Maybe look at a ducati style bar end mirror.

when the tyres are worn out fit more treaded style for wetter weather thrashing

just about it.

Hhahahahahahah....

Love it, they have to give people £20(in fuel) to test ride one....

And what has been said about sports bike owners is bang on. Saw a german on a GSX1400 who must have been 20+ stone, Absolutely menace a gaggle of skinny youths on sports bikes on the mountain at TT, once he finished annoying them he just dropped a gear and f*cked off ...... awesome display.

Never underestimate a stranger on a "slow" bike

Listened/watched to moz ride this.....he was being very careful (as I would on my boss's brother 40K bike).

It did sound great when he started to get his head round it.

The conversation when he handed it back was funny from a bystander who knows moz point of view.

YOU WERE VERY POLITE MARK!!!

as much as I hate to say it. I agree with Carbon

get some crash protectors. even if they only save the panels if it gets knocked on its side its worth every penny.

You may not be the one to drop it but it will happen
