At last! Picked mine up today, Thanks to Kevin at Barrie Robson's, York for a trouble free professional handover.

The only snag was the weather, it p****d it down.
Never mind, it's an adventure bike for adventures wet or dry!
Didn't even ride it home!, stayed out all day & went for a blast in the Dales up round Grassington, Kettlewell & a stop off in Pately Bridge for a well earned cuppa.
The bike rides superbly, so composed, never missed a beat can't wait to see how it improves when run in. Managed about 170 miles on its 1st day so shouldn't be too long.
Didn't stay clean long, it's an absolute muck magnet,

Treated it to a wash before I put it to bed, takes some cleaning! Noticed some nasty little water traps on top of the cylinders between the fins. Think I'm in need of some ACF50.

Make sure you get a crud catcher on there, before the front gets covered in stone chips.
