    Bad Points: mMors are crap at anything less than 70mph. Clutch feels heavy when compared to other stuff, though not as heavy as some HD. Steering takes time to get used to.


    General comments: Handling, oh boy, this is a seriously agile machine that will waste nearly all 600's nearly every where. Have got a Remus can with "road legal" baffles in, still loud at 104 db's but sounds brill. Despite the sporty pretensions I have done 430 miles in one day with no aches or pains, I have lowered the pegs (1 inch) which give a little bit more room for some one like me at 5ft 11".
    Very pleased with it, totally reliable so far (tempting fate now eh?) good mpg 45 average, rear tyres last about 31/2 k. Using Pirelli ' s now, very good even in wet. DON'T be tempted to take off rear footpegs to improve looks, because if you do have a spill in your garage like I did, the bars & pegs stop any damage to panels, indicators etc. Honestly! Vibes at low speed disappear when you get going and have never been a problem. Servicing is a doddle. To get the best out of this bike spend time setting the suspension up to suit your weight go out and ride the wheels of it!

    Great bike for the price and tons of fun on any twisty road/track. Flicks easily in and out of turns. Lots of torque, great braking power, and quick throttle reponse.

    Fabulous bike. Best and most enjoyable road bike I've ever ridden, and I've had and ridden plenty of top end sports bikes of all sorts. It's certainly not the quickest bike I've owned or ridden, but that's what makes it such an enjoyable bike to ride on the roads. Looks great, sounds great, goes well. Above all else however the handling stands out as the bike's trump card, it really is an immensely pleasurably bike to ride down a twisty road. It's not something that can be described or explained ...
