Sounds like there's enough to play about with to make it your own after what looks like a very good long ride home!!

Looks really really smart, Perkles. I'm not a big fan of Japanese styling but that does look good.

Very nice perky looks the part i think the exhaust would not be so bad if it did not get so big at the end.

Good spot Duke, yes it is. I knew they were similar but hadn't realised they were almost a mirror image if each other.

I went for a little ride,I've adjusted the throttle and it now gives instant response,I'm getting used to where the gear lever is.as I ride it more.The gearing is that tall you only need 2nd and 3rd on UK roads,I love the induction noise its immense
I am getting the feeling I'm going to really gel with this bike
