    1 more sleep for some of you....I'm excited for you though the weather looks sh*te which is a shame.
    Tbh I would be asking the dealer to just deliver it in a van and stick it in your garage.
    At least you can look at it and sit on it but riding a brand new bike in really crap weather is a touch soul destroying :confused:

    Just got off the phone with the dealers, mine has arrived!
    They're doing their registration etc with Honda but seems like it'll be ready (with the demo bike) Monday 6th next week.

    Then, if I'm happy with everything, mine should be registered and ready to ride Friday 10th :D

    Hard to tell with only 50 miles on the clock and a limit of 4000rpm with only 1/4 throttle.

    Not a problem and I'm trying to get a track day for next month, however only entries left are for Fast group and I was hoping to take it a little easier than that on her first outing if you know what I mean?

    Doesn't seem much smaller at all, pegs are little higher but I'm 6 foot and didn't have a problem with them, however need a much longer road test than 50 miles.
