Awesome, last weekend went down to Donington with the GF on the back to watch a mate race and when we got there it felt as if we'd only gone round the block. So comfy and easy to ride but when required it don't half shift along with a twist of the wrist. It seems wrong that you go from 40 to 140+ without changing gear!

The electronic suspension differences are quite noticeable and the Urban mode with it's extra sensitive TC and ABS adds a chunk of re-assurance when it's moist out there.

Been using it as much as possible, work, nipping to shops etc, and the only fault I've found is that I can see points mounting up very easily if I don't keep an eye on the clocks!

I've fitted a short Powerbronze dark screen to help out storing it safely (low roof) and it hasn't made a huge difference (looks a meaner tho) to wind resistance, the original will be going back on for the Le Mans trip in 4 weeks time.

Will post another updated verdict on our return!

Great to hear that you're enjoying the MTS......not that it's any surprise!

Not seen the Powerbronze dark screen....a photo would be good ;-) Thnx

I'll post a pic when I get the hang of putting them on here.
I got it off ebay for £49.99, it's a tad over half the height of the original.

Thanks, I'll be interested to see what it looks like on the bike and hear your thoughts on it in use.

Not too dark when tucked in behind.

When it it's highest it's roughly the same height as the standard at it's lowest.

It looks good, I was a bit dubious of the style/shape of the top of the screen but it does look good on the bike. You'll have to let us know how it performs ;-)

NB: you need to clear out your garage and get that garage door painted! lol
