I did a little *** wee

For 2 hours

OMG
Its amazing.
No one slagged the new T off more than me, saying it was ugly, this and that. Well I was wrong.
In the pics it looks big and heavy to me at the front, well its not, its actually quite beautiful. Soon as I saw it I wanted it. Soon as it fired up I ******, even with the standard can. Soon as I sat on it it fitted perfectly, I'm a fat coont btw.
Anyhoo, off we go, set on Sport and traction midway, 5 I think. Silky smooth out of the car park and up to the slip road. On to the motorway heading towards some nice roads and I can't believe how easy it is to ride,,,,,,,,,,,,,very fast. I would say it is quicker than my T but not miles. It is a lot smoother though, and wind blast gets you the same at about 80. The quick shifter is brilliant, I loved it.
Right, on to the decent roads, f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f,f, fook me sideways. Its immense. So much smoother, so much more agile so much faster out of the bends its unbelievable. The quick shifter on proper roads is an absolute hoot. I was running out of juice so I went in to town, errr 30mph in 5th. Absolute ***** cat in traffic.
I had nearly 2 hours/50 miles and did razzin roads, town centre roads and a bit of motorway and it was magnificent in every situation.
Much smaller and lighter than the older bikes, but a lot, and for me I mean A LOT comfier. The seat does seem hard but it works, the riding position for me is perfect.
It sounds like a big twin, it rides like a big twin but is physically as big as a Jap thou. It makes the Gen 1 and Gen 2's seem like their from a long distant millennium. Not knocking them bikes because we know how good they are, but this thing is just incredible.
Do I want one ???

Hell yeah

Down points, 25mpg. **** it who cares.

Some piccies,


see the little LED's ?









Right then, decisions. Do I buy this one or wait till next year for the Factory version ???

Righy o, slept on it, drunk through it, eaten through it, our maud said I can have it [under certain terms and conditions].
But, I'm gonna wait till the Factory version with abs comes out. Its deffinately coming later in the year, or early next. Hopefully it will have a gold frame too.

Had soppy moment last night after a few vino collapso's. Went and took the cover off me T and I swear it winked at me, so I gave it a loving pat on the tank. We've still got a few adventures to go on together yet :thumbup

Yes I'm a ho allreety. Not long ago I'd of just said '**** it gimme gimme gimme'. How many bikes have we flogged and regretted though ??? I regret selling me Tuoldo and I don't want that feeling with this one. I mean, just coming up to 7k, the top jolly version, it can only get better.
Anyhoo despite the ***** weather today, when I actually got to let rip a bit I think the only real stand out thing that is 100% better is the fact that the new un is lighter and smaller therefore a bit easier to oink about. The ones we've got do everything the new one does just different. Its a bit more involving whereas the V4 makes everything really easy.
Don't know about you chaps but I like to be rewarded for my work and thats what you get with the Gen1 and Gen2. The more you put in the greater the rewards. :thumbup
Pip pip.
