Hello and welcome Mike, fair play to you. My second bike was a Honda MT5, took me decades to work through the ranks to a Fireblade.
Hello and welcome. Top tip, go out on your own you’ll soon start to get used to the bike. If you have to go out with mates stick to the “I’ll meet you there” if you drop off the back. I ride alone these days because A) I don’t want stone chips B) Sometimes I like to just trundle along at normal speeds. Good luck and nice bike.
Yep, some ripping deals on those!! You'll really love it. Plenty of info on here about tail tidies and rad guards - if you're interested.
Yeah I've been thinking of a tail tidy, double bubble screen and maybe an aftermarket slip on exhaust. Will wait and see, just waiting for the call to go get it.....
First thing on my shopping list would be a radiator guard. I witnessed 2 blades get stone through the radiator within a week. Wasn’t mine thankfully.
