I never knew it would be like this !!

Well I made it back from the north sea on friday and to cut a long story short, on tuesday was riding home my yellow M900 (2001) from worthing in West Sussex all the way back to Neston on the Wirral. What a hoot! I can see where the enthusiasm I read in these threads comes from now!

Handled like on rails, pulled like that big thing in star trek and had the most gorgeous exhaust note to accompany me all the way. I clocked 310 miles following signs all the way back and she never missed a beat. Very forgiving bike to ride also. Still getting used to the noise of the dry clutch at idle!

The only thing I found is the standard nose cone directs the wind blast right into the face. I'm going to try her without the nose cone and see if the blast is as bad. Do you guys find it this way?

I'm going to bed in my bike gear tonight so that I can get up with the crows and get back on her tomorrow! Looking forward to finding the time to attend any meets too. Ride safe now!
