Cracking deal on 1290 GT

Gave one a go, found it is a bit cramped for my long legs, but the performance was really good, lots of instant useable grunt, great handling and easy to chuck around, perfect for those who complain an adventure bike is too tall and no longer want the extreme cramp of a sports bike.

Only thing (apart from dimensions) I found a bit disappointing was the rock solid suspension, I am not a fan of these "Semi Active" systems, they just seems to make the ride very harsh, I am sure they are great on the track (Where I expect all development is done) but on typical (read bumpy / uneven / pot-holed) UK roads even the softest setting feels very stiff.
 
Deal done from redline motorcycles can not wait to pick it up next saturday :beerjug:
