Went to visit my cousin in Middlesborough today I live in south Yorkshire and I did a 198 mile round trip and the tank was'nt full when I set off .Coming off the motorway in Doncaster on my return I completely run out of fuel (luckily only 100 yards from the garage so I did'nt have far to push it) certainly got some strange looks stood waiting to cross the road at the pelican crossing 😃 . So in spite of the cold and the rain and running out of gas I thoroughly enjoyed my day out what a brilliant bike My cousin likes it too

The crash bars, panniers and top box blend really well to the style of the bike

A question Terry
On the paintwork is the gold stripe between the colours an adhesive pin stripe or is it painted on?

I'm well pleased with it Pete Shame the services I stopped at on the motorway was in the middle of a refurb so they had no fuel otherwise I would have managed it's a 15 litre tank but only 14 litres is useable the last litre stays in the fuel pump (modern technology eh ) but now I know the bikes limitations it won't happen again as for fast A roads and motorway use it's spot on it has a top speed (indicated) of 75 mph and it gets there easily so no speed limit worries it's just wind it on and enjoy the ride ,brilliant bike .Looking at videos from India I think the Hunter will be even quicker (kickstart Bodger and Ian will let us know once their bikes are run in ) Can't wait till my next away day .

A question Terry On the paintwork is the gold stripe between the colours an adhesive pin stripe or is it painted on? Now why would Pete want to know that 🤔 I think the answer is in my shed.
