How about the smell Wello
When I got my new bike I would go out the shed and smell her in the air
Congrats on a great looking bike

lol .. i cant say the smell was that nice .. more kind of toxic .. new engine and exhaust getting burnt it .
i have to say when i initially rode away i was a bit dissapointed, i thought it was gonna be heaps better than my old bike, didnt seem to have much get up and go , brakes felt soggy and quite shite etc .. and that was with the stage 1 so god nows what standard would feel like and i was feeling a bit gutted actually.

but .. as i started to get a few k,s on her it started to slowly feel a bit better, throttle response seemed to sharpen up a bit, brakes seemed to also feel a bit better and continued to improve so maybe just need to be bedded in , and actually the whole bike kind of seemed to improve as the k,s clocked on .
maybe i was just expecting to much i dunno , or my old bike was just better than i actually gave it credit for.. that was stage 2.

obviously there are a few other gadgets etc that i have to get my head around that the old one didnt have, undecided about the actual ride as the old one had air shocks and that was pretty smooth and i hardly felt the bad roads at all, this one currently feels not quite as smooth but maybe that will improve also .. the wife rekons it feels better and less vibration but maybe thats just the different motor , without the cams also.
overall im pretty happy with it and hope it continues to feel better as i clock up some more miles : )

Yeah, as the brakes bed in they will get heaps better and even the engine will loosen up a little. Next steps is Stage III engine.
Whats the paint like? is it absolutely mint or does it need a correction/ceramic etc
