And I'm back

Well, after a long break away from riding doing various jobs that negated a bike I have bought another

A simply daft impulse purchase (Not unheard of by me)

Walked in to the local dealer to say hi to old friends having been in and around racing and the bike trade for a long time looking for a cheap get to work bike, left feeling considerably lighter in the pocket department with a brand new 1200 a few weeks ago

Damn my impulsive nature

Just the standard sir, it's a 2016 that was unregistered so the deal was too good to miss, I'm not a fan of the Pirelli tyres, always been a Michelin man and I'm struggling a little to get the front end feeling right, it feels very vague and unsettled, I'm reading that the suspension isn't the best so I might end up finding some better springs and changing the oil to see where that goes unless anyone can offer some better advice?
