Fantastic actually. 5 Speed, but really well spaced gearing. 110km/h gives a not unreasonable level of vibes and it's a reasonable seat (although I did break out the padded bike shorts that I bought when I had the 690sm!).
Tank range is shithouse. 10L tank standard. First tank hooning around town got me 105km to reserve (6.5 Litres), but mixed commute and open road took me to 120km on 6-6.5L so that's acceptable, but the 20L tank should make it useful for adventuring. Currently has a Sirac on the front and a distanzia on the rear and i'm very impressed.
One big road area i'm happy with though is the suspension. Very stable. Low speed compression damping is great, no diving or wallowing in the corners, but the high speed damping soaks up the big bumps/judderbars/puppies.
I have strained my kick start leg a little however!!!
I aint bovvered
wow no electric leg?
funny how we get so spoilt nowadays.

Yeah, no electric leg. Starts pretty easy though. Good compression on the thing, have had it kick back a couple of times. Auto decomp too so dont have to fiddle with any levers.

I've been threatening ever since I got the DR to do that ride via Darga down to Glinks Gully, etc. into teh Northern Kaipara harbour area, but still haven't gotten around to it.
So - why don't we put something together? I reckon it'd be good. Accomodation in Dargaville or thereabouts now that the "season" is just about history shouldn't be too dear? Could even try to rent a bach down Tinopai or Whakapirau or thereabouts somewhere for a Sat night & share the costs?

Already on its way!
Just looked again. 23 Litre. bastard. I never found that while googling for it! Nor a decent price from acerbis. In fact I couldn't even find the shop!

Sounds to me like you have it half organised already, keep going I say (just make sure it's a weekend I am free).
I think I might head up to Muriwai on friday for another run if anyone is keen to join me.
High tide is 1pm so would need to hit the beach earlyish (thinking Muriwai entrance about 9:30am) head north, have a play in the dunes and duck back out on Wilsons road before the tide gets to high.
Was also thinking of doing another day out at the Sandpit, anyone keen for that? Plenty of dual sport bike friendly trails out there.
