I fear that if you find your bike is well suited to the motorway, you'll be on a GoldWing. All I'm hoping for is that it is no worse than the average sportsbike. My concern is how tiring it will be with the lack of fairing. I've never had a naked bike before.

Thanks Tooby Having taken the MT out yesterday for a grown-up ride (270 miles), in a group with sports bikes & a KTM super motard, I have to say - it's still awesome, it keeps up & even beats other bikes. Whow! It's fun on big roads, it's fun on small roads, it's fun in town, it's even fun on gravelly car parks - it's just FUN! I'm boring all my my mates to death raving about it which is why I am trying to get it out of my system here. So after yesterday, it was defintely going to France regardless of the tyres, but given what you have said, it should be okay so thank you. P.S has anyone tried any motorway riding (autobahn, etc) on the MT?

Hello I also tried and buyed the MT-03. I love it to bits, it's a grin inducing little machine. I edged the tires within the first 20 miles and I'm normally a bit of a wuss. I've had it a fortnight and it had it's first service yesterday, now I want to see if I can keep up in a group. The people I ride with are on a mixture of bikes but there are a fair number of blades, R1s etc. I feel like I'm whizzing along but I've only ridden by myself and it's difficult to tell. I'd like to ask if anyone has finished off their first set of tyres (i.e. the set the bike comes with) and if so how many miles did they do. We are off to France end of July and I'm trying to decide whether to take the MT03 or my R6. I know the tyres will last round France on the R6 but I have no idea about the MT03. PS there's definitely nothing wrong with being female & 40, I am. Not sure about the blonde bit though ..... but hey, since mine comes out of bottle - I should comment?
