My first ride!

I just got back from a 200 mile (321 km) ride through the canyon with my new baby. And let me just say.....WOW! :doug I love it. :inlove
Now dont get me wrong, my little 4 cylinder 750 can cut a canyon like no ones business, but my new Mille does it effortlessly with grace and poise.
Let me explain.
I live in Colorado, and my ride took me to altitudes over 7000 ft (2100 m), And although my baby is still factory stock including can, restrictors, and stock settings on suspension. I was able to corner and pull through as if I was on the gixxer.
Every corner and bump was soaked up like I was riding on glass. And the brembo brakes dont even need to be mentioned. They were phenomenal.
To make a long story short, I am in love.
Now as soon as I can get the suspension dialed in, remove the restrictors, add a map, air filter and can This will be a beast to be reckoned with. :angry
Now for the rubber. She came with Michelins, which held their own I would really like to have my Pirellis from the Gixxer on her. But all this will have to wait.

Thanks for reading

You are so right about the corsa III's To me they are the best tyre out there. I cant wait to buy some new ones. It will be awhile though. The michlins look almost new.

I will tell you what big un. If you ever make it state side, and to CO. I will take you on some of the best riding roads in the US.

Being in CO...what idle do you have to set your bike to prevent stalling? I noticed everytime I go above 5K ft. I have to turn the knob a bit.
