Well done mate, have fun and stay safe

If you need advice on running it in, I'm sure grouchy can help you :eusa_whistle::eusa_whistle:

Haha I doubt running a monster in like that will bother anyone with the power it will deliver with using a 1/3 of the throttle. Now. compare that to a 125 4T. The power a 1/3 of the throttle produces on my WR is comparable to a Chinky 4T 50cc scooter.

Beautiful machine DDT, I love the gold forks. It looks like a mean beast. I bet your not disappointed with the quality either.

As with a lot of naked bikes, definitely improves the look of the front end :)

Have you put many miles on her?

Cheers.

9 miles - If you look at the last picture the total mileage is under the large 0 (MPH display). I didn't get a chance to ride it today.

Still not run in yet but it is starting to take on the DirtyDT patina.

The weather has been so bad that the chicken strips are still massive.

You know where I am, just give me a shout :)

Nice, you've got a right beast there. Don't forget to ACF-50 her.

Which tyres did it come fitted with?

I'll bear you in mind Grouchy.

Does it look like I am going to clean it? I prefer GT85 rather that ACF

Tyres are Battleax BT023's with a nice 180 on the rear.

It's the salt and filth on our roads at this time of year DT - my bike looks the same. You can wash it and it's back to disgusting again in no time.

Hmmm hose's,scrub brushes,soap and water must be realy expensive your side then?? cause I have all at home and if my bike looked like that it would get a wash and dry.

If that represents the typical bike care then no wonder why everyone has so much trouble getting bolts out.

A car who cares but my bike's no way :eusa_snooty: .My car /truck a hammer lots of heat and anything can come appart ,,my bike's just simply undo and remove.

Price grouch"o hes a NHS cheapskate,, :ambulance::icon_cheesygrin:

How very dare you? The last thing I could be called is cheap. They pay me stacks of cash to wander around a couple of sites looking important. Every now and again some work breaks out but I soon put a stop to that. It only encourages people and if I let it go once they would expect some every day.

I had a letter reminding me to get the bike booked in for it's 600 mile/ 6 weeks service. Shamefully I have only just ridden 200 miles on the thing. I called the dealer and they said miles were more important than time so call them when I was close to 600 miles. I dont just want to ride up and down the M1 for 400 miles so I will get it booked in when I get some miles on it. I think I have the RD as many miles now.
