Great write up mate.

... One thing I'm curious about.. You mention that the GS had a lack of front end dive under breaking, are you relating that to experience with sports bikes or just what you expected it should do ??

Test rode a couple of bikes.

Been busy today test riding a couple of bikes. First this one: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/t1.0-9/10153013_10152333388764800_2773524075232220253_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1.0-9/1493131_10152333388549800_7735912088417571408_n.jpg ...

What would possibly be even more fun.: That track but scaled up for full sized bikes.?

+1 on the first bit, and for the second bit. They already have done, its called Cartegena

I've tried flying my 11yr old's helicopter away from me and back toward me, those bikes look amazing, but the skill of the "riders" are worth thinking about as it's insanely hard trying to make your hands do the opposite to what your head is saying. Strangely ...

... recharge, fingers crossed. Having leap-frogged the D600 & 650 in ownership, would I be right in thinking this was a recurring problem on those bikes? Any info gladly accepted as I'll be seeing Dan tomoz when he drops my battery and charger back in. Cheers, DG

I got the bikes out today and did a bit of work on the Z650, fitted new bars, new brake lever and master cylinder refitted the carbs but couldn't get the new pod filters to fit, swapped the old fusebox for a brand new up to date ...

lacquer is very hard to apply diy ,get a pro to do it your bikes to nice to FU

I know I keep saying it, but have you thought about venture shielding the bike?

Covertech have done my new car, can't recommend them enough. Based in Brum. http://www.covertechmidlands.com

The blog on there shows what they have done bikes and cars. They will sell you a kit too.

... a tin of it would be really easy to apply in all the knucks and crannies. I had teh protective film Triumph supply fitted straight away during the bikes PDI. It's only on the tank, but figured it best to put it on before any paint wears.
