Really happy with it - rode it back from Kent this afternoon and once it was warmed up it didn't miss a beat. Wasn't sure how to work the choke so it kept flooding... Oop! Also it wouldn't start unless it was in neutral - which was a bit odd (in my limited experience - I'm guessing that's normal?)
Wasn't till I got it home that I got that "oh my god I've just bought something expensive so is better go through with it" guilty feeling.
Got it up to about 55 on the A2. Could probably hit 60ish -perhaps a bit more...
Only complaint so far - the horn is fucking rubbish.
