    Just purchased a used 2020 Speed Twin with 5000 miles on the clock. Had to wave good bye to my KTM 890R Duke, but hey I needed to slow down a bit, so the Speed Twin it is then, not that it's slow!!!!
    I've only put a few miles on her, but love the way it can just potter around at slow speed or make he trees go by a bit quicker and boy does it look good. It will compliment my BMW R125OGS Triple Black. No doubt I will do a few things to her, the first being suspension. Ride safe and here's me picking the bike up a few days ago. Jersey, Great Britain. 40 mph Island speed limit!

    I do have a pulsing from the front brakes when they are applied and the discs have been replaced by the previous owner. Take pads out and clean.....clean the disc bobbins???? Thoughts please
