Just wanted to share. First ride out this year today albeit sticking to main roads as the B's are still pretty shit! In and around plymouth, Barbican and hoe and around. Just great to be out and a brilliant bike around town even. I'm 6 feet odd and elluva lanky but seem to fit this bike so friendly to ride. Got back and took this snap. I know we all know what they look like but what the hell! Lovin it.
I was in Plymouth today and the weather was good to get out every day off I get the weather is pants. Need to get out' spring is in the air
No dude I bought it from GT plymouth. I bought it pretty standard with tail tidy and I added honda tall screen. She's a beaut dude you shouldn't have got rid of yours! 11 plate.
Haha don't not what to say to that, jim. You know I love me trumpets! If There was space for two in my garage I'd have exactly what you've got. Minus the riding ability of course ha.
It definitely felt that way. Wasn't cold at all until I took me lid off to sip an espresso (first time I've ever had one, very similar to an aftershock in terms of boost!)
Mate, lets face it, was a sellers market, we both knew you had the upper hand... Never been in such a feeble bargaining position lol. I love it.... Just wish I could afford a blade as a second bike We should meet up and have a swapsie some time
Ha yes i didn't need to do a great deal, it's beauty and spec sold itself! Jim, anytime. Wish I could say I'd show you how to ride that triple but fear I'd be making a massive tit of myself lol.
No ypu didnt, but its a keeper for me as far as im concerned, chuffed with it. Lol, in sure you'd do just fine.... Still getting to grips with it myself
I've got one specced up just like yours ready to go out on 1st March with the 3:1 arrow and bar end mirrors but of course minus the PVM's and carbon fibre and luggage and R&G bits. Actually, still not as nice as yours. Just love the sound that 3:1 Arrow makes. Incredible.
Am so jealous,roads up here still bad,but it's getting warmer Raining tonight so hopefully it'll wash the salt of them,maybe get out in the next few weeks
Ha yes I've never experienced that pop on the upshift before other than the speed triple. I've not had any feedback from anyone using power commander on the speed but can only imagine it will further benefit from one. First time I rode one I was laughing in my lid. Great fun jim.
Lovely bike indeed and of course the very best of the colour schemes..... i have a CB1000R but do have a very big thing for Repsol blades, its just too much for me on the daily commute when filtering through hair thin gaps in traffic, i just needed that upright position.
