    well just been out on it for my first ride really nice engine sounds lovely no nasty noises. initially i thought it was a bit uncomfortable then i noticed something that i never noticed yesterday when it was delivered it has motech bar risers fitted so the seat is leaning me forward in a slightly sporty position and then the bars are lifting me back up straight again so there coming off.
    but ill tell you what this thing flies why you would want any more power on naked bike on the road i dont know perhaps im just old
    handles ok the front is a little to soft and the rear is definitely to hard so need to make a few adjustments overall well pleased with it even sounds nice with the standard cans on it though they wont be staying on there to long:grinning:

    That’s not many miles at all. My Rally Pro had 15000 on at less than 2 years old. Bikes with very low mileage would always be a worry for me if buying. Looks a lovely bike particularly in that colour scheme.

    20200514_104049.jpg l fitted a Scorpion lowboy type silencer on mine, which reduced weight by around 8 kilos and took a whole load of high mass off. Steering was far better, :)
