I took delivery of my Classic late this afternoon. Busy roads around Manchester but I managed to put 70 miles on the clock before sunset. I'm pleased with the gearbox, the selection and getting neutral is better than the test bike I rode. The engine wants to go but I have been told to restrict to 6000 revs maximum !
I have increased the preload on the rear shock to maximum and it suits my heavier then average weight.
Engine braking is good and the brakes excellent
I do think the classic seat seems a bit softer.
I think I'll ride the bike as it is until well after the first service, I'm probably going to put at least 2000 miles on the clock before mid July so I may upgrade the rear shock then if I don't get used to it, but I think it's too early for me to tell at the moment.
