    The (new?) Honda ones. That have the switch (Single button) integrated into the grip itself. Switches from off -> 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> off. And they switch off automagically when you stop and take the key out (Unlike my original ones years ago that used to switch off when the battery was dead instead :)

    2 journeys to work so far and 160miles done... I'm liking it... A lot...

    Not quite as nimble filtering through the traffic on the M4 that the 600 was (I'm a bit worried about the RV mirrors... They look a lot more fragile than the bricks the 600RR had, and the 600RR took a while to get used to as well, so it's early days yet). But boy the power and stability more than make up for it. A far better bike on the M4 (West bound) than the 600RR was (And that was far and away better than my old '02 600F). The suspension is way better too (Which could just be the default setup being better than the 600RR had been done).
