Handling and brakes were excellent for riding in town where most of my ride took place and confidence grew very quickly.
Power was available from low down and immediate. The gearbox was a bit tight and neutral was a bit hard to get at a standstill but the bike only got out of the crate at 10am this morning a few more miles and I'm sure it will be fine.
The dash was very compact and had a good range of information including a gear position indicator but no temperature guage. The Rev counter was a bit small to be of real use but who cares when you got that lovely triple warble that had a lovely rasp between 3 and 4 thou.
The whole thing looked well made with some nice quality details.
Would I buy one?..............
If I was ready for a lightweight hooligan machine that could take commuting in it's stride you bet I would, but I'm still recovering from buying my XT at the mo, maybe next year though.
