Beautiful bike, Congratulations on the new ride and glad your first impressions are positive! It really is a superb bit of engineering! Enjoy in good health my mate! 👍
Cam they’re wonderful bikes and a joy to ride, unfortunately I got rear ended last August and mine was written off but I’d have another in a heartbeat when I can ride again.
hi and thanks for the video, not many on those bikes... i am looking into getting one with 8k miles and just worried about major reliability issues. how many miles did you put on it before that nasty accident? any feedback from current and previous owners is appreciated
deyanrs1 hi mine had 8000 miles on the clock when I bought it, but unfortunately I didn’t get to put many more miles on it before my accident 😳 I only had it for one month. That said it was a great bike and always started on the button with no issues at all and was a pleasure to ride. Ride safe 👍
Aide The Biker hi if you’re thinking of getting one then just do it, they are an amazing motorcycle. Unfortunately I don’t have mine anymore because I got knocked off and it was written off, but when (if) I get to ride again I’ll get another in a heartbeat. Ride safe👍
@@BikeMates oh gosh I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope u were not too badly bruised up. The only thing I'm worried about is if myself as a 6ft er will fit it.
Sounds beautiful! Quiet when cruising and that lovely growl when you give it some.
You sound smitten x so glad you are enjoying her. Stay safe out there Sparky. And now we expect lots more vlogs !!

I’ll do my very best to get more vlogs out but I’ve been very busy with work lately.

Hop to see you back on a bike soon. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos, many thanks for sharing.
Any comments about the snatchy throttle that i hear about mv in general?
Never had any such problems with mine it rides smooth as silk.
Drop a couple of teeth on the front sprocket
Hi Sparky, Looks and sounds like a real nice bike, have you had any reliability issues with the bike?
No issues with reliability, but unfortunately it got written off in August last year after a nasty accident 🙄
