Welcome to our little pisstaking corner of the Interwevs, Bear. As you may have gathered, there are some scalawags and "wits" on here. Ah'm nae one o' those. I run an '07 Gen II that I have taken it easy on the last couple of seasons, so only have 40K km on her. I use her for play, commuting, and travelling. The knees are a bit tight but when entering into some twisties on a trip or playing at the track, I dinnae notice it that much. As mentioned, I'm a little big. 6'5" and just shy of twenty stone. Replacing the shock this year as the original R shock has done its best to deal with my largess...
Have fun. And let us know what you think when you take her out and cane her the first time...
