Last night I finally picked up my Classic which had been at the dealers since December and not ridden since October as it was awaiting parts.
After a bit of drama trying to get concerns over it looked at I dropped it off at GV and went back to my chopper project.
Well, sitting on the Classic after so long was an odd experience. She of course, looked beautiful. The dealer had gone over the bike and replaced several components that were sub-par including the saddle, RE replaced my air filter box that had the lacquer flaking off too which was good.
10 minutes on the bike I was back in love with her. Going from the chop to this means alot less power, but the bike handles so well and feels so much nippier than it did before that I had a big stupid grin on my face riding her through town.
On the motorway she cruised comfortably at about 60-65, I overtook a car at 70-75 and she made it without complaint. This is contrary to the last time I had her on the motorway where she seemed to struggle at 60 so not sure what tuning was done at the dealer but I'm happy for it.
Now instead of selling her as I thought I may I think I'm keeping her forever
But the stock silencer needs to go, am I right in thinking the upswept C5 one has no cats? That should make a difference eh?
