well took the new beastie out for a run after picking it up from Glenrothes yeasterday. Up to lochernhead, KIllin, back to callander then Doune then A91 home to Kinross. All i can say is WOW!! Fecking love this bike. Always had inline fours before now I wonder WTF was I thinking. Loving the grunt and the noise from the Vipers is awesome. Handles waaay better than my old(fecked) bandit 12 ever did.

Took it round the corner to show my brother.......and he liked it too and he has 4 bikes just now one being a superduke990 so we just had to go for a wee run on the twins

so after 1 day and 260 miles and a fair few fuel stops

have to say I am smitten.

The fun comes at the expense of stopping for fuel.

And you can do so much to them to personalise to your taste/needs. Brilliant bikes.
