hi there,

I picked up my new toy on friday lunchtime, weather was not too hot, but dried up as day went on. Managed to get 66 miles of smiles on the clock.!

Not disappointed at all -the otherhalf has the Panigale S and I have had a trip or two on that.

I had a monster previously, and still have my KTM RC8 to play on.

I hope to learn more and find out the quirks and parts ad gain info from you all

Cheers

Teeny

What sort of paint job are you going to do?

Looks like you live somewhere in Britain. Bikes look great. You must have tons of fun riding with your partner.
