Says the extra low down grunt makes everything a lot easier at the expense of nothing. On something like an x trainer it must be even more so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only describe it as its like riding a vibey 4 stroke you get some vibration through the footrests but you forget about it in minutes there's no real top end but if you want it its just a matter of fitting the RR pipe and you get the top end without compromising the bottom end torque apparently. Suspension is a load of shit but new springs for my weight transformed it into usable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the front and rear springs i think it's sprung for someone about 75kg from the factory. if your down this way anytime your welcome to take it for a ride as you know there's plenty of local stuff to try it out on for a few hours. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Washed my bike today, including the luggage, tomorrow will wipe a cloth with motul shiny stuff on it and hope it’s done until the uk bimble in September. Also washed the inner things of my helmet, trying to make it smell human again, and less of dust and sweat. I feel the time for a new lid is approaching. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
