    And don't they look cracking when they're nice and clean..! Enjoy the feeling of a litre bike with the mass of an old 600cc..!

    That's super-low mileage (my 2017 RA-H has done nearly 16k, although they're all my own miles) - do you have a quick-shifter on it? If not, I can highly recommend one - totally transforms the riding experience in my opinion (and is a luxury for commuting that I can no longer be without).

    Enjoy the new bike mate, if you're looking to put a slip on exhaust on it, I'll be selling my Arrow Pro Race gp very soon. Also some other bits at a later date....MRA racing screen and GB racing engine covers.;)

    Pictures of them on my profile :)

    Yep, and it's only ever missed a gear from 1st to 2nd (upshift) when I've either been a bit light-footed or the bike is cold. Worth every penny as far as I'm concerned (they're appearing occasionally on eBay now too for reasonable price used - don't think you need to do much other than fit it and enable it in the settings via the dash).

    Does the blipper work too for clutchless down shifting?

    Absolutely. Only ever use the clutch when pulling away or coming to a stop. I don’t think I could go back to a bike for daily commuting use that didn’t have a QS fitted..

    +1 for the QS.

    retrofitted mine (by Honda) after i got the bike. Most fun i've had in ages.

    Mind you be careful if you've got 2 bikes as you quickly forget to pull clutch in on the other one!!
