500 MILES

After coming back from Ireland and the North West I wasn't a million miles away from doing that in one day on Sunday.

You need to get used to the feel of the gear change.
I came from an R6, it was like riding a 2-stroke compared to the 996.

I would have accepted a financial loss (not known in Yorkshire) for my bike for at least three months then it all clicked and I wont/cant sell her now.

Tis worth the settling in hassles.

I have done over 10000 miles in 19 months of ownership so dont give up yet.
This includes touring to Holland and Ireland in the bouncing rain and gale force winds.
