    Enjoy your new bike..! I have the same but in the faster white colour …..
    I’ve had a load of bikes but this is one , if not the best, I’ve ever had. They do it all….! Safe riding.

    Thanks guys , it’s early days so just getting used to the bike , I think it has the shift assist as well as I can enable it to on with the dash , I take it that means the bike has it fitted ? Not had chance to try it due the rubbish uk weather ..

    Welcome to the forum Mike :grinning:
    I can echo almost all of the comments made by @Oldskool except about the colour :joy:

    TBH I love em all. I have no colour prejudice…
    Just strap on a tail pack and they will tour, crack on on a quick ride out and they handle superbly, fuelling is spot on, so town traffic isn’t an issue and they sound superb.
    Just need a bit of sunshine….

    Enjoy your return to biking Michael. Is the tank a matt finish? If so if yiu haven't done so already you might want to think about some form of paint protection because if it's anything like the matt black on my B*W once it marks up, (which it did real easily) you can't polish the marks out.

    I've used mine for every thing from commuting to touring to the South of France. As previously mentioned, a truly versatile bike
