BAD
Mirrors - poor
Vibrations around 6000 revs - will take a bit of getting used to
Tank - not metal so will need a new tank bag
Exhaust under seat hot - advice please - does this mean I cant put a reasonably large soft bag on the pillion?
Bungees - only anchor points appear to be the piilion pegs

GOOD
Felt really easy to ride
Felt incredibly light, even tho its the same weight as my CBR600F
Riding position - wonderful
Cornering - excellent
Windblast - was pleasantly surprised how little up to 90

BRILLIANT
Test ride was on winding country road with quite a bit of traffic. Had to be patient to overtake but when the chance came - WOOOOSH - it felt like being on top of a Boeing 747!

CONCLUSION
Agreed P/X price on my honda, paid a £500 deposit and pick it up a week tomorrow.

I am excited!

cheers

Thanks for that Chris, I didnt see the hooks. Anyway minor niggles only. Maybe the mirror thing is just personal preference.

cheers

What year is it? If it's new, '07, then I'm suprised you find the mirrors poor, if it's an '05/'06 then I'm not. The '07 mirror fit the earlier bikes though and only about £16 each, so it's not all bad.
