First Ride

Lily · 13-Mar-2005, 16:54

Had my first ride on new bike today.

The ride didn't get off to a great start but I will let him tell you about that.

I was a tad nervous setting off on my own, but started to get into the swing of it after a few miles.

My main impression was how much easier it is to ride than the 748r. The engine feels smoother and the extra grunt means not constantly banging up and down the box.

Oh yeah and its very quick

But I did manage to lock the back wheel up so i guess i need to work on this blipping thing or buy myself a slipper

is it easy to lock up the back or were you nailing it then whacking it down near the redline?
