Got one of these as a loaner whilst my Thruxton is in for its 500 mile service.
Nice bike to potter around on, essentially the same engine as the Thruxton but no so highly tuned and lower revving - nice and easy to ride with plenty of grunt for back roads and town, steers pretty well too, suspension not fancy but more than good enough for the performance.
Most definitely not a motorway bike though as one is hung out like a parachute to catch the wind blast - anything over 70 is hard work.
