Yeah the lights do seem to be love or hate for people. For me its love, I really quite like them, kind of in a muscle car or and old Ferrari Dino style, if comparing a bike to a car doesn't get me beat up on a biker site :-)

Thanks and Yep, complete washout where I am in Surrey. Dealer told me to watch out for first 100 miles or so for the tyres to bed in and might not be so good in the wet so taking that advice and not gone anywhere today. Managed to get 88 miles on her so far so past the the 3000rpm restriction and can now do up to 3500rpm until I hit the 500 mark and looking for excuses to get to that asap.

Thanks for all the welcome messages - looking forward to my time here.

From a weekend with the bike the mods list is building up:

- Kickstand (Jiffy) extender - not quite getting used to finding it yet so think this will be useful

- Looking at the Kuryakyn ISO Wing pegs on the forward controls to have somewhere better to rest my feet

- Better sounding pipes, then possibly a better air filter and a V&H FP3

Should keep me busy for a while. I can see this bike thing getting addictive and expensive!
