    Enjoy, takes a bit of getting used to. Done 1800 miles on mine since October (800 of those done last weeknd!) and only now can I say I am confident with the feet forward. Lots more comfy than a Gixxer for me, due to a knackered knee from playing Ice Hockey.

    What did you have before ?

    When I picked Speedmaster up, on the ride back home at junctions etc. I kept putting my down in the mid position looking or mid mounted pegs!!
    I agree with Mr Orange, it does take a little while to get used to the feet forward riding position.

    BTW ………….. WE NEEDS PICTURES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Agree with you, feet forward is a bit strange at first. I got my Speedmaster this time last year and kept feeling for the pegs at the mid-point. Once I got used to the position it felt oh so much better.
