    Better than waiting! I wanted the blue Tiger anyway but the fact it was sat in the showroom was a definite bonus.

    Well the bike became available the day after the launch weekend but I wasn’t: my overseas work was extended and I finally arrived back home last Sunday. Monday being a Bank Holiday the earliest I could collect it was Tuesday morning - and I was on the dealers doorstep at 9am!

    The ride home reinforced just how much I liked about the T120: smooth and really torquey, there was no problem keeping below the 4k rpm running-in limit and the ‘grin-factor’ just kept growing with each mile.

    Back home after 70 miles and I was pleasantly surprised to see this as the fuel consumption:

    Some pics from the arrival back home (the backrest is off and will only go back on when touring 2-up:

    Having been abroad for quite a while there’s a lot of other ‘stuff’ I’ve had to deal with last week, but top of my list now is getting out and putting some more miles on... ;-)

    Doesn't need much imagination to picture the grin on your face!

    Ralphy I was in Great Yarmouth only yesterday and a new owner of the same bike as yours even the colour pulled up and took off his helmet and he had the same great big grin from ear to ear it even made me smile what a lovely looking machine enjoy it while the weather is good, may I also add that registration number is a bit interesting??

    Looking at the photo Ralphy, be careful that key fob doesn't scratch up anything as it flicks around while your riding. Before I moved my ignition on Doris the steering lock key would flick around and its pitted my headlight bracket

    It’s a reference to my navigation skills, as in “Don’t ask me, I’m LOST TOO!”

    It’s rubber, so I don’t think it’ll cause any damage - but thanks for mentioning it (I have learnt the ‘hard way’ in the past). BTW, it’s also a led light.

    You must be able to take off the running in labels now, thanks for sharing your pictures with us.
