Went out for a ride with a mate on his new MS and really had a chance to see what I thought of my Scrambler as have had no chance to ride it since pick up!
I am loving the riding position that the stock bars give and wont be changing them as they work very well for me. The seat I am having no issues with at all after a 2 hr ride on twisty country roads so that stays stock too. The gearbox I find very smooth and no issues at all with false neutrals so am happy there too. The exhaust does not sound bad at all so that is staying until I see an aftermarket double barrel one I like the look off.
This bike is a GOD in those country lanes and loves those bends. Those tires are giving very good grip and I really anjoying the instant throttle to power out of bends and do swift over takes (on that point I need to calm down as did 1 or 2 questionable overtakes). I put the shock to the 2nd position and it feels a little bit better. I wonder if anyone uses it on the softest setting? I do think that my money will go towards a shock though before an exhaust but will wait and see a bit as may get better with a few miles on the clock.
This bike is a keeper and staying with me for good. Looking forward to getting out again when time permits...
