Yes, it arrived today as promised, midday delivery from Seastar Superbikes.
Spent some time learning the buttons etc, then fitted my rear Rack, and side stand base mod. Looked at the LED left and right repeaters, to find the Crees I had purchased did not fit, but that's another story.....
So weather is lovely here in the UK at the moment, 18 degrees this afternoon.
The kids got back from school, one from high and one from primary, they both had a sit on the bike, and son had a rev of the engine (keeping it under 4k
) Daughter - from High School said wow dad that's nice and took some pictures of me on the bike (to use on Instragram snap crap and all that rubbish they use when teenagers)
So after work, I put on my gear and went for the start of the Run in.
Now its been 20 years since I have been on a motorbike, so was a bit cautious.
I needn't be as these Scramblers are perfect.
Went for a 30 min ride out, lots of small B roads, tight twisting bends, I really enjoyed myself.
Settling into the bike and its massive amounts of Torque ! (I'm used to 2-strokes)
The Riding position is perfect for me to enjoy the ride out.
My only gripe is the throttle twitching , it needs really delicate amount at low speed on the corners, tricky but do-able/ I'm sure I will get used to it and will be powering out of corners once its run in.
So first impressions, I'm really happy I went for the Scrambler
