Sat on one today, and felt very comfortable. Wife says to get one. The two main dealers between Edinburgh and Glasgow only have one each! as yet unsold. But I just couldn't do it. Wouldn't be fair to my current one that hasn't even got 600 miles on it yet. Interestingly the Honda guys at the. Scottish Bike Show were saying that they have had loads of customers who said they would buy them if they came in Repsol colours.
What would be special about that? Surely the idea is that they are rare and a little more exotic. The repsol is surely the most common incarnation.
The looks have grown on me every time I have looked at a pic. The bike looks beautiful, you must be totally chuffed Ritchie.
I'm an Ex-Repsol owner X2 Blades but this colour scheme is growing on me, spraying the OEM hugger to the same white as the bike added that little better look to the rear of the bike. Bike feels good on the ride but think the suspension will need tweaking, but loving it to bits and differently a different feel to the 2013 I've chopped in for this one.
What's feedback on the Tyres on these I want something for summer more dry grip biased over my S20 I have read they have Pirelli Corsa SP Tyres on designed for road use as well as track do quicker warm up
Haven't really test the tyres due to weather but Saturday they felt good as most of the roads were dry. Doing RAF Valley track day in April so they should get a good testing there and I can give you feedback then, however I'm no expect :-(
Not given it any real beans as of yet as I've been running it in at 6500 rpm max with a couple of bursts to 8000 rpm, HOWEVER 663 miles done and going to get first service out the way this week so watch this space!
63 miles mine was at Mallory lol not SP run in lovely can I see right do they put brembos on the bike and rubber hoses ? Lovely bike
The SP is a great tyre for summer and on track. Warms up quick and grip is great. If running on track use 30/29 cold. Road pressures are 32/36. Ok in the wet too considering tread is minimal.
