Having had my Full Throttle one week now and having clocked up 485 miles, here's my opinion of this thing of wonder.
The front forks are a bit hard and it crashes over potholes and manholes, this sends a jarring shock up the forearms.
The seat still hasn't broken in and after a couple of 90 minute rides, my arse starts to ache, hopefully this will improve.
The brushed aluminium covers on the Termingnioni silencer are getting a bit marked, so I may Cerakote them black.
I'm about 6'3" and it doesn't feel too small and is light enough to throw around a bit.
This is my first bike in nearly 25 years and after the first day reacquainting myself with bikes, it has all come back, although I do feel a more mature rider now.
It's manageable in Londons traffic, but really at home on sweeping A & B roads.
For a relative newbie it feels very reassuring and safe, and while I'm still limited to 6k revs, it has plenty of punch to put a real smile on the face.
Think I've been in petrol stations 4 times now.
Motorways are hard work, but mostly because they're boring.
I've had a few people come up to me or talk to me at traffic lights, saying how much they love it....as do I.
It has definitely brought the grin factor back
I love it
