Hi all
Just picked up my Gp from 3x today. wow!. Very happy. will defiantly be showing it off at Poole Quay bike nights (Tuesday nights).I expect most of you have ridden it, it was there white demo bike
Previous experience was the 1050 Triumph speed triple . But i wanted a bit more legroom being 6ft3 . Some of the Points I've discovered so far after a days riding.
sweet engine pulls in every rev
great gearbox(no false neutrals)
clutch not to stiff
stiff yet soothing suspension
sounds like a speedway bike /very good
fuel gauge fault that some reported has been fixed(new clocks)only problem i for see there is the service interval icon will be out of step with the real world servicing.
handling excellent good feel+more steering lock than my ST +better than the 1050 Triumph tiger
has pre wired battery charge point under the seat.
very comfy
looks the dog bollocks
neg points
indicators a bit dim and water damaged,even the new one looked similar
headlights looks dim too
push button to access the trip/rev/odo etc don't always work ,yeah i love those Italian electrics.i hope it stands up to some drizzly British weather as this beast is going out in all weathers.look forward to hearing of you experiences
