    Will get pics tomorrow knackered 400 mile round trip bike in Matt looks so much better in the flesh. Not a lover of the bigger red decals on the fairings they might have to come off???

    Based in Suffolk not that far from snetterton, hoping to get it run in before the winter break.
    So happy it has the Bridgestone tyres and not the dunslops.

    Job for tonight read the handbook and try and make heads and tails out of the dash ha ha

    Yes mine has the Bridgestone S21 they are pretty good
    You planning on a track day at Snetterton ?

    The best way to learn the dash is try all the options whilst reading the manual, there's lots to remember but you will soon get the hang of it.

    Saw that earlier. I'd be a bit peeved if I had paid £15,225 for one a few months back.

    I was just offered £1500 off as soon as I walked through the door at my local dealer and that was with no effort from me; can't see that's cost.

    My 2015 bike was over £12k new when I bought it and I only paid £10k, which he reckoned was cost.

    £13,725 is a sensible price.
