Today is the day, dealer opens in about half an hour, it's damp and very windy so I'm waiting to see if it clears before we leave.
Picked it up, was blowing an absolute gale and damp everywhere but stuck with it and went for a gentle spin. Been told to keep it below 6-7000rpm for 600 miles so it definitely was a leisurely ride.
Done 107 miles and came home before it rained again and love it. The engine is amazing, more power than I was expecting compared to my twin and I haven't even been over half throttle.
The ride is firm but that suits me down to the ground, handles really well and I can't wait to hear that V4 with a proper exhaust on it.
Only things I'm not sure of are the tyres (Michelin Pilot power 3) and the seat which is rock hard and my delicate arse needs something softer.
First impressions are basically, this bike is f**king awesome.
