Hopefully arriving in three weeks time when I get back from Kefalonia. I had to trade in my XTZ1200 super tenere for it. The arthritis in my hip, knee, and the injury I have to my left hand has caused me to look for something lighter and lower, and with a very light clutch. I had a recent test ride and was very impressed with the bike, certainly felt a lot smaller than the S10, but as the day and miles went on I grew into the bike. I think it will slow me down a fair bit, but I'm good with that as I've got older I've realised my reactions aren't as sharp as they should be for high speed riding, and there's also too many speed camera revenue sights as well. I'm going with soft luggage as I think fixed hard panniers and top box may spoil the looks of IMHO a lovely looking motorcycle. Have ordered a comfort seat and extra power point, juries still out on what if any louder pipes will be fitted. Also considering some bar end mirrors. Might even get an open face lid and go all Hipsterish.
Can't wait, 18 sleeps to go
