| It was about 10 am I was in company with another 7 bikes mainly R1s but one 749r as well. After getting to the roundabout near your house they decided they wanted to go to windemere so I had to endure Kirkstone pass etc in nose to tail traffic, how I wished to be aboard the Multistrada! The manual is about 400mb so would be a pain to send? I will probably be out on Sunday for a while so could meet up, have to be back fairly early as we are gigging on Sat, Sun and Monday at the blues festival in Colne.
The R was excellent up the Shap road and would keep with an 02 R1 on the very fast parts. The Tuned 04/05 R1s were pulling away though! I am still getting to grips with the handling though as it feels so hard to turn after 18 months on the MS. Am going to raise the rear and fit a 180. The previous owner was a lot lighter than me and the bike feels a lot softer than my previous 996s. I really need to spend a little time setting it up to suit me.
What an engine though! Managed to increase its mileage by 450 this week, find it hard to believe the previous owner only averaged 70 miles a month whilst he had the bike!!  |
