So decided to take the 10 up the Bells Line of Road to run her in and get comfortable, just an easy run not pushing hard.

What can I say I got comfortable very quickly in the bends, I put 120 km on her yesterday to show her off to the nephew but they were mostly straight road.
Again I can’t get over how easy a 175hp 1000 bike is to ride, admittedly I am running it in.

The steering is so light tips in very easy and hold a tight line until I upped the pace then things got interesting
I have not adjusted the suspension and the ride at times was harsh ( I may have knocked off the compression 1/4 turn at both ends ) when the pace was increased. The brakes were good not great so will see how they are after a few more kays.

After getting home and decided to check the tyre pressures (I didn’t check them because I was thinking I would try standard 36f,42r )
They were a bit out 43f,45r!! :shock: I didn't have one slip or slide so the bike must be great and that could be the reason it didn’t feel good under brakes in a turn and why the ride was a bit harsh.

Can’t wait for next weekend :kuda:
