Went out for a proper ride yesterday to scrub the tyres in. Came back with aching wrists, a sore arse, eyes on stalks and the most fun I've had on a bike in a long time!
Got in a good 90 miles in the dales on mostly dry roads (apart from the farmers mud that nearly caught me out)
It's a long time since I've ridden a sports bike after owning a GS for 5 years, and I'd forgotten just how exhilarating they are on the right traffic free road. The bike is immense - I can't believe the smooth power from right down in the rev range and the way it builds into a proper crescendo of power and noise above 10k.
Really fantastic couple of hours - can't wait for proper spring and a few track days
Bike needed a good clean when I got home, so its' looking all sparkly again now
