As per title, as we approach 2000 miles we can start to form an opinion me thinks,
I'm enjoying my new Yamaha maybe puncture was a blessing in disguise because I can now ride at over 70mph without thinking a truck is trying to overtake me. Take care on roundabouts because everything seems to touchdown and scrape but on open road not a problem when swinging through bends. The air filter does not hit my knee at all but I do have long legs. Constant 50mpg regardless of how you ride. Seat not as bad as some claim but I did own a BMW r9t racer! Uncomfortable, just stop and have a break. Not used my wild ass seat pillow yet but I'm sure it will help on longer trips. Just been out on 90 mile ride and bike is a absolute pleasure on swinging a & b roads at 70-80mph. Yes it's a heavy bike but once on the move it melts away at traffic lights I hardly seem to have to put feet down
All things considered not a bad bike at all considering it was made from another bike. Thank God Ryan @ fort nine pointed me in the right direction. Never listen to anyone that never ridden a bike that they are giving a opinion on, you need a minimum of a few thousand miles before you can form an opinion on a bike.
Seem to have lost my odyoa Yamaha and gave now become Stu which is my name so not a problem. Bank holiday in U.K. and sun is trying to shine so let's go for a ride!
