First proper day out on Davina today.
Impressions are are just how much fun this bike is and how surprisingly comfortable.
220 miles around Lincolnshire twisty roads and even running it in ( not ragging the tits off it) this bike really is a hoot at cross country blasts. The speed it carries into corners is staggering and with brilliant engine braking it just zips round on whichever line you pick. The worrying bit is that its difficult to gauge the lean angle in as much as I have been to the edge of the tyres without really thinking i had.
The suspension set up straight from the factory is a tad harsh for my taste but I will get it set up properly when it is run in and had a change of tyres from the Super corsas ( sticky as fuck but I don't like them much as they just don't "talk to you")
I am confident that decent mile days can be done on this bike despite the small fuel range, the light comes on at just over 100 miles but even so i only managed to get 11 litres into the 16 L tank.
All in all I love it, soul, style and huge huge fun
