Popped out yesterday with Frankie and the triumph boys. Managed to make it through most of the day without too many piss takes about being the only non triumph rider.
Have now covered 300 miles so can step up the running in and can but go to the heady heights of 7000RPM
Fitted the rad guard and removed the euro side reflectors.
As for riding the bike itself, it's a really wonderful experience. You hear people say "I'm starting to gel with the bike", well not here, it's been an almost instant click. The only thing I have to learn is the steering characteristics. The triumph was very aggressive and liked to be chucked into every corner, whereas the MV is more refined and rewards a smoother and more flowing approach.
The suspension is electronic and fully adjustable via the app. Yes, I mean you can actually set the "clicks" not just a mode.
The clutch really is the showcase though. I've had to describe it a few times now and it's not easy. It's like an automatic clutch, in 1st and 2nd you can come to a complete stop and pull away again without touching the clutch. Similarly with really slow speed stuff, no need to feather the clutch as it does it all for you. Once you're moving though it's a standard gearbox with shifter and blipper.
Minor annoyances around the indicators. The rear indicators are really low and I'm not convinced a lot of cagers see them (not that they look anyway) and the indicator lights on the dash are really dim so it's hard to see them most of the time making it easy to leave them on.
I really can't wait for the first service so I can let it loose.
You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
