Well I just got her out of the van and I'll be riding it to work in a minute or two.

It's a 2003 model 620ie. For you DD race fans that means it already has the twin front disks but is a 5 speed, not a 6 speed like Dickies. And it doesn't already have a 'slipper' of some description, like Dickies.

It's in primer ready for her real paint job and has done 10299 miles. Starts first press of the button and is as sweet as a very sweet thing. Ange (my wife to those who don't know) has just had a sit on it and is already talking about what colour she wants when I'm done with it ....

Hrmmm ...

I think, given the extra ballast Dickie carries, we can agree to let him make some extra engine mods.....

Besides, I hardly think a 655 kit would make up for your skills defecit. Try Nitrous!!

keep 'em coming! :P

I think it was a typo and should be a 955i.................

So you got it then Tony?
In that case, I'll be bringing the desmodue bike on Monday to shame you with my rear-wheel erm....42bhp...

Well, I rode it to work and took a detour on the way to my private test track *cough*

Got up to 110 nicely before a corner was approaching and there was more to come. As for handling, the feedback from the front could best be described as 'remote'. I know it's there but it's not telling me much. Have to get all that sorted out!

It's booked in for some minor fettling soon so we'll see what comes of that
