a happy little vegemite

Well, it was certainly worth the wait! The riding style is of course a
bit different to what I'm used to, but it doesn't take much adjust. I
wasn't sure how I'd find the heel-toe changes, but it actually suits the
bike quite nicely, and certainly smooths things out a bit. The engine
size is a bit more than double that of the CBR, but even so this thing
has got some serious go, as I already discovered once when I
accidentally applied the throttle a bit harder than intended for about
half a second - the CBR certainly never threw me backwards with quite so
much force! :-D I've got a sissybar and pillion backrest on the way,
which should help ensure I don't lose my wife off the back of it, but
after this afternoon's riding I'm thinking a screen would be a very good
addition - not needed around town, but the wind becomes a bit of an
issue over 90, not seriously, but enough to appreciate the absence.

All in all, it's one hell of a bike! Especially for money. Who the hell
would buy something like a Harley, when you can get this instead and
half twice the bike for half the price??? Yep, I'm one very happy little
vegemite indeed!

 

Congrats Damian!
It won't take long before you start saying "I don't know why ALL bikes don't
have heel-toe shifters".....

 

lol, dunno about that. It suits cruisers very well, as it happens, not
so sure how you'd even set it up for a sportsbike - or why you'd want
to! :-S

It could do with a tacho tho.

 

I saw a Ducati 996 with one the other day...

well it was a squid going up the gears with the back of his white
running shoes

You mean they don't?
