it might not be fast, but it's great usable fun on a cold wet morning blasting down country lanes... 62k miles now on the clock, having crossed continents, and still runs beautifully...
Hi Dan One on the left is a Swiss Vignette. You need this if you want to use their major roads. Instead of using pay as you go toll roads you pay for this once and get to use it for a whole year. Right side is a No Limits Trackdays sticker that shows group and that my bike passed scrutineering and noise tests when I was at Lydden Hill circuit.
Hi Mark I stay in normal drive mode in this video. I do override this sometimes as you have noticed, mainly dropping down gears when I want a bit more thrust or engine breaking. Drive mode takes you to higher gears very quickly, so doing this allows the engine to really rev out more, without having to switch to fully manual mode. The best of both worlds! Thanks for your comment, happy riding to you!
These bikes are great, I enjoy mine immensely!! 😉
Thanks for your comment Joe, so do I! I use it far more than any of my other bikes.
Riding from the UK to Croatia in June, looking forward to it.
I love mine. Best bike I ever had. ❤
I have a 2015 manual, great bike. Does everything I ask of it and more.
Manual or DCT they are fantastic and really are great for UK country roads 😊
Cool! nice ride !! what are those Stickers on your wind screen ????

looks like you were riding in manual mode - is that correct?
