    Well, after what seems like waiting for ages since I placed my order on the 23rd January, at last I now have a new addition to my garage.

    With just 3 miles on the clock (PDI), now I'm just waiting for a dry and warm day to take her out. This is my second blade, but first ever NEW bike.

    Sorry for so many pics............ Just so happy.

    Still waiting for the Repsol SP seat cowl to arrive, but should be here within a day or two.

    First things to change are the levers, then the tail tidy which I've already got (Thanks to Graeme Walker), and then the RaceFit, which I'll fit after she's run in.

    Is it a different orange to the old one? I heard they are brighter

    Yes, I'm sure it's lighter.

    Matches my "Bell" Helmet pretty well too.

    The other machine is an Aprilia RSV (2003), just charged up the battery on it and she's running perfectly.

    weather app on my phone says 15 degrees on Sunday (12 on Saturday), granted at the moment it's cold enough to freeze the nipples of a badger, but i'm optimistic :p

    Very nice indeed, just a warning, I bought my new blade home a couple of years back and with 4 miles on the clock my adult son asked if he could sit on it, you can work the rest out for yourself:(
