So after 16 months, for the first time jumped on a road bike. One of my mates that I use to ride with a lot, has let me ride his beauty.
So dialed in and nimble, the bike encourages you to dip it into corners and roll on. Although, considering the long break and only riding a cross bike for 45 mintues few months back prior to this. I took it easy, my first grudge that I noticed instantly, was the bike being pretty gutless at low rpms. But, I can see why so many people buy these over 1000cc, plenty of usable power for A/B roads.
Is it?! Christ what do I know...Oooof that's an ugly bike
It's your first bike you're going to drop it, scratch it, get the cheap one. Just check the annoyingly expensive things like fork seals and steering head bearings. Everything else is consumable.
The plate is 17 reg, but I think it might be one of the early 2018 models.What year is that?
R6's are always so damn beautiful you do have to keep the revs high though if people aren't looking arpund at you when you're doing 30 its raving too low
Roadtec 01 if you want something more wet/cold biased than the Angel GT.
I had a rear on for a few k miles, they seemed a tiny bit harder wearing than the Angel GT. And they were awesome in the wet. They're below the M7RR as the 'touring with a hint of sport' option Vs the M7RR which are the 'sport with a hint of touring'
I think that's not bad, perhaps a bit 'garish' with the design though - prefer a single solid colour or a more subtle look (realise I posted a bright orange Kawasaki above...)
