Hey Elsie,

Im new arround here. Congratulations on the new bike, I will take delivery of the same one very soon.

I'd like to hear what your thoughts are so far? More specifically how is the run in going? from what the dealer tells me, it's quite a long run in period.

Thanks

Pete

Nice pick up, enjoy

It sounds like a hot jam donut when you are starving. You want to eat the donut immediately because you are absolutely starving but by biting into it you know you will burn your mouth quite badly. So you take little bites on the outside of it, just to get a taste, hoping like hell you don't hit the jam until you start to think, "I'd better stop now as that jam is sure going to hurt". Sometimes you just have to wait a bit longer. It will be worth the wait my friend, it will be worth the wait.

Run-in period? Just ride the damn bike! I am mostly happy with him, but he is a completely different ride to my last bike, an '04 Z750. At the moment the stock tyres are on, and on the Z750 I last had M3's, so they are completely different tyres. I need to get the suspension sorted out (but don't have the loot at the moment as we are spending a fortune on my husband's '03 Z1000), the rear seems a bit vague at times, (but I am not sure if this is a tyre or a suspension issue). I enjoy riding Z'ev, but I am not sure I love riding him yet!
