I am not happy with the seat/strap so had a go at steam cleaning the original,and it came up very nicely,running the bike in its a joy to ride the seating position takes a bit of getting used to but the quicker you go the better it is.the turning circle is interesting, the engine is very smooth and obscenely quiet the opposite of my Norton.i will be putting it on Spanish plates and then take it for some long runs it definitely brings the speeding hooligan out.
