The bobbles on the pegs look to round Tunnie, you need to find a nice roundabout ;)

Its very comfy  :y

Its a big thumper of a single, but at 60mph its surprisingly smooth.

My commute is too far to bike, its just a weekend toy for now  :)

Glad you've gone for a proper sit up bike. Never been into the sportbike scene, tried an R6, 750 Gixer & 900 Blade, fast as break yes but uncomfy to ride & riding with your arse in the air is gay!

I know what you mean :y

Saying that, my ZX10 is pretty lean forward - first couple of decent rides made my wrists ache a bit.

Tunnies bike did seem really nice and comfy on the few yards I rode it, but a bit too small for a fat bastard like me - I had to lift and flop my gut onto the tank ;D

sports bikes are very uncomfortable to ride slow,once you start to go fast  the wind blast takes the weight off the wrists and they are reasonably comfortable.

My (old) ZX10 is classed a sports tourer, so not quite the out and out sports bike that you get now. Pretty comfy on a run, I don't suffer from wristache anymore with it, though it is a bit cumbersome in slow traffic.

Saying that, it showed Tunnie's bike a clean set of heels, despite an awful misfire on the first overtake ;D


Actually, thanks for making go out for a ride Tunnie, by the end, my bike was purring much better - it really needed a run :y

No problem  :y

Weather permitting, we could pop over to Bicester tomorrow.

The Yam actually is most at home in town, its very easy to ride through the villages.

That was the longest ride i have been on yet! Was good for me to, was much smoother with everything by then end of it  :y
