Well, picked up the bike tonight and rode it back - stuck to the highway most of the way as it was dark and cold, but once I got to some roads I knew I ducked off the highway for a slightly more interesting trip home through the suburbs.
Things I have noticed:
This thing has a
cracker of an engine.
113hp is a
shitload more than 72hp!
Those stock exhausts are surprisingly throaty!
It runs too hot in traffic. Thermo only comes on when the ignition is off.
The weight isn't noticeable at "around town" speeds
The weight is very noticeable when parking (or attempting to park
)
The gearbox is like new!
Hydraulic clutches take getting used to!
16" wheels are poo
