Four days and all of two rides and 38 miles I'm afraid! Simply because the weather has been so bad here in the UK. At least I'm in Essex where we've not had the worst of it. So, after the 20 miles on Friday I got another 18 done today. I was five or six miles into it and it started pouring down. Oh well. I've put some pics up in Members Rides which were taken after the ride so you can see that it cleaned up OK and at least I've got some wet weather experience. I thought it was very firm footed and reassuring and thoroughly enjoyed it. Funny how the mirrors blurred at certain revs on my first ride and that didn't seem to happen this time. I guess I'm riding round it already. I was a lot better at locating the indicator switch without looking down too so two niggles are on the way out leaving only positives. It's really comfortable, the clutch engagement is really smooth, the gearbox is far slicker than I was expecting and the whole ride was a sheer joy. I'm very impressed with the brakes too - loads of feel. Their power is hardly being tested with such a low mileage but the impression is that there's plenty on hand.
I went and soured the whole thing by cracking the tail light lens when putting it on the centre stand at the end of the ride.
I was parking in a tight little corner and misjudged the distance it moves back when using the stand. I felt pretty stupid. Hopefully I'll be able to get a replacement without difficulty. If not it's still usable but I want to fix it.
I should say that I haven't ridden for ten years and I've never had modern Japanese bikes. I had a Yamaha Powervalve 20 years ago and more recently a Morini and Ducati. Maybe I'm easily impressed but impressed I am and I think they have done an incredible job of making something very user friendly whilst retaining charm and character.
