Not longgot home from my ride home... I was advised as per the manual not to exceed 5k revs... This at times was pretty dodgy as I had to get around a roundabout which has a motorway joining it, then merges into another road where you must move over to the left asap... was pretty hair-raising so had to rev quite hard for fear of getting knocked out the way by a truck or something, but other than that little spurt of speed I was okay. The bike handled great (compared with an old honda I took my CBT on - which isn't much to go by) and I'm planning a commute in the morning, the seat was pretty comfy and after reading loads of horror stories about the tyres being almost unusable and the light being no brighter than the one on my sky remote I was pleasently suprised... (also, I filled the tank from just belowhalf for £7.50... I was convinced the pump was broken as I'm used to at least £50 + in my car a few times a week!) Anyway, thanks for all your advice, it was really useful... Andrew

Hello again, I am picking my new ~YBR up on Tuesday, and plan to use it for the odd dry run to work... I need to take folders, paperwork, packed lunch bla bla bla to work with me (bad habbit from having a car for the last 8 years of my life... so I'm thinking I need some sort of top box. from looking on the GIVI website, they don't have my YBR on the 'choose bike find accessories' section. does this mean there are no givi boxes available for my new bike??? Also, when wearing a rucksack on a bike, does it blow around and create drag? (i'm new to riding so a bit confused by it all?)

I have no intention of screwing it home, I only took my CBT at the beginning of Feb, so wouldn't be confident enough to speed home on it, I just don't want to go dangerously slow and cause an accident on my first day!

so a varied ride through a town centre at 4pm on a tuesday with the odd straight bit should be fine then from what you guys say... I'll just not 'rag' it on the straights and should be fine! thanks.

Hello all, I've just bought a new YBR, I'm collecting on the 1st March (for the 11 plate)... The garage is about 15 miles from home, but I'm told its not advisable to go above about 30mph for the first 600 miles!? does this mean one hell of a slow ride home? also, for the very first ride is it not advisable to be riding 15miles? would appreciate any advice! thanks all.
