Took the bike out for a run today. Not too disappointed with it and the front brake's freed off now. Hopefully MOT it this week then I can get some miles in on it. I have to say I'm impressed with the handling and it's more forgiving on corners than my ducati. Hopefully it'll hold together for the summer and then I can strip it down at the back end and do a total rebuild and give it a custom paint job.

Nice one Tom. Making me look bad getting yours finished so quickly. Note to self, must try harder from now on. ;D

It's only "finished" Graham, not finished. The tax runs out at the end of October and if it lives that long I'll strip it and rebuild it properly then.

Woohoo!!! MOT'd it today and took it for a spin tonight. Slight judder from the front wheel over 80, which is more than likely the front tyre balance, but apart from that I'm really impressed. Totally messed up my line on some esses but just rolled the throttle back a bit then back on abnd the bike just sorted it out for me. I'm loving it. ;D

You have the same exhaust as me, but mine isn't burning through the faring like that.

Weird innit. I'm wondering if it's not for another bike, or the headers are off another bike??

If you weren't so damn far away, I'd bring mine up so you could compare them.
