Finally took my little beastie out on the road for the first time in 4 or 5 years.
Eek! It's like a toy bike! I've been bombing round on my K1200RS which weighs in at 300kg with a full tank of gas. It also has heated grips, cruise control and a GPS system, not to mention the Ipod and multi-adjustable riding position.
Having folded myself into that long forgotten racing crouch I wobbled off down the street. Actually I stalled it three times before I got the revs up high enough!
Weeeeeee! It flew. Only got it up to 90, and it's fluffy in the midrange as expected, but the old razor cornering is still there. Bring on the track day!
