    F'ing thing is limited to 9k before its first service, earliest is @500 miles, got 360 miles out the way yesterday but got work tonight and tomorrow so will do the rest tuesday morning and get it in, looking forward to seeing what its like in the full fat form, so far tho despite its cruise and heated grips its not as comfy as the blade, its nearon the same weight but feels a lot lighter, wheels i think. it makes an amazing noise and pulls well at any rev in any gear unfortunately stops at 9k atm, 127 mph in tops, apparently ! brakes are the best iv experienced, haven't pushed through a bend yet, the lean angle gizmo said 32deg is the most iv been over, got silverstone in two weeks so hopefully ill have got confidence in her enough to test the electronicry.

    I am doing the rest of this year on my blade, new bike next year, just not sure what to go with, but that BMW does look nice :D
    although mine wont be brand spankers, as will use on track moost of the time and the thought of dropping a new expensive bike on track will proberly hold my speed back, will ride around like granny...
