Running In.. Boulevard C90T

Rate this Entry
Well, its been a month or so since we purchased bike number 8 or 9, cant keep count anymore, but this ones a far cry from some of the earlier rides, eg, Vellocette 350cc, Honda 50cc, Triumph 500cc ST, Jawa 350, Arial, Honda CB750F, Puch Scooter, Honda 175, Suzuki Gn250, to name just a few.
The latest, Suzuki VL1500cc C90T is just the ride this old biker needs, smooth low and mid range torque, heaps of legs, and enough grunt to handle 2 up touring without having to kick down much if at all.
Spent the first vew weekends doing a mix of motorway and hill/windy road to around a third throttle, and once over the 1500kms gave it a few more revs and loads around half throttle, cranks up nice to 145 with plenty of legs left..
Been out most weekends, on day trips, but next run will be Akl to Palmerston-Tawa and back so a good run over a week at easter..
Must make a note to include a few spares, bulbs, tyre can, (tubeless tyres)
Hell, this takes me back 40 years, seems like only yesterday
