If it's anything like it's big brother they are one hell of a wheely machine :thumbsup. Good handling, although not very forgiving all up a good choice for first bike. You'll have a hoot on it, wish I had never sold my speed trip.....ho hum.

Congrats and about bloody time. Eagerly awaitign the following events;

1. Paying for your insurance, knowing you're paying 3 times what dave is for the same bike :lol:

2. Your first ride on the road when you look as sh*t scared as I did when i picked up mine. Do you remember laughing a lot? Gutted to be missing it

3. Following, or trying to follow, Tommy's mates on a B road :shock:

4. Crosswinds :shock:

5. The first time you get to 11k rpm :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: 8) :lol:

6. Realising that maybe a car might be a better idea for a run to applecross :roll:

This should be a good summer if you can keep it out of fields / walls / oncoming cars :wink:

15 years younger than dave maybe !

Postcode is similar risk to mine, i still hvae to declare 3 points, i have no garage.

Biggest difference is the age / value of the bike and the fact you're the wrong side of 30 from an insurers point of view.

Still at least you checked all this out before you bought it eh ? :roll: :wink:
