    Here it is then

    Boy does it feel different to my little Honda 125 lol

    Very enjoyable first ride though. First time on a motorway too. Probably last also until I fit a windshield

    Cool. not my kinda bike but can see where youre coming from,in my youth I wanted a chopper like Dennis Hopper's in Easy Rider but couldnt imagine much worse nowadays . Lol a 125 Honda, I remember way back in 75 when I passed my test on a 250 BSA then the next day, a mate said I could have a go on his Norton Commando, whoooooooooooooooooooooo, now that thing was fast.
    Hey I agree the wind has been a bit strong the past few days,some bikes are real hard work in high wind. My works van is all over the road but the Sprint doesnt move an inch (too bloody heavy)

    Good luck and safe riding.

    To be fair - the wind was OK in terms of stability, I was way more comfortable on this. But going 70mph with no headwind protection was an experience I'd rather not repeat too soon

    That said - who really wants to ride a bike on the motorway? It's so.........dull. I'd imagine the only time it's fun is when there are jams and you can weave through the traffic. Other than that, I'd rather take the b' roads

    Looking good! Enjoy it........let the ever expanding expense of adding 'just one more' mod several times over begin! :0)

    And......just wait until it's fully run in!!!!

    Welcome. I couldn't stand the wind blast either, fitted Dart Flyscreen, what a difference even a small screen makes.

    Enjoy your ride.:cool:
