Looks like this. ..
Just a note....
You'll have fun fitting the cradle of the popular Garmin 396 to that

I don't own a nav yet...got a mount but no sat nav …..its next on the list but undecided on brand yet
More shite
More shite
Can’t tell which specific shite you refer to, does this have the guard fitted ?
Aye..
I wasn’t blown away by it, tbh. Would love a go on the R though.

Likewise. I'd hope the R is better (a bit like with the 1190's & 1290's
).I love the engine (although it's a bit soulless) and reckon it'd be great in a light weight road bike............oh hang on a minute
I really wanted to like the bike (still have it, probably until the end of the week now.....) but yeah, a bit underwhelmed really. I keep feeling like I'm riding a 'maxi scooter' 'cos of the view of the cockpit which is very plasticy and the shape of the screen just reinforces that. It's not helped by the side view of the bike which with the low down tank and general 'lowness' overall looks, again, like a maxi scooter.
I also find the steering a bit weird, as already mentioned I find it a bit 'slow' but also the way the front turns in, almost falls in, after I've initiated the turn.......ironically like some 21/18 dirt bikes except my 21/18 1190R couldn't be more different. Maybe it's the tyres (Avons) although I've actually been quite impressed with them generally.
Oh, and while I'm having a moan, that seat! Jeeeeeez
Other than that it's a good bike

It looks long and low, in S guise. Doesn’t look quite right. They had an R sat next to an S the other day, and the R looked completely different, and how the bike should look. I couldn’t sit on it as it was sold, but as soon as there’s a demo available, I’ll get a proper go on one.

Ha.......... Is that the 'budget Wheels & Waves'? I'd love to have gone but a big holiday commitment this year means the purse strings are as tight as a tight thing.......you never know though, if I can scrape together some sheckles it may be a last minute decision......

No. Bikes and Breizh is in September .
No , Le KTM is like Le Hog, only with better bikes and no dodgy dancing . Similar location though
doesn't that headlight cover block air to the LED lamp heatsink, or is the 790 unit not similar to the 1290s?
