    Time for an update:

    Phoenix & I have just had our first decent ride together.. 1800ks traveling to The Brass Monkey & back.. her first rally..

    I found her so smooth & effortless to ride!!! She handled like a dream! Accelerating & decelerating is again, smooth & effortless. she picks up to overtake in a split second & the suspension & handling in corners is awesome! Physically she is very much like sitting on my old GSXF.. very similar in terms of size & riding position.. (but the extra weight when pushing her around (out of garage etc) is really the only main obvious difference for me there).

    I have always been more of a fan of riding uphill than down, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I found riding downhill was far more smooth & enjoyable on Phoenix than old 'Onyx' was (my son's new name for the GSXF.. now that I've owned her for 8 years.. without naming her... & am now selling... ).

    For the Brass, she had the addition of headed handgrips & a packrack.. & now also some business sign writing (subtle but sleek) & some clear self adhesive protection stuff on the headlight.

    sorting a couple of pics soon..
    GET ON
    SIT DOWN
    SHUT UP
    HANG ON
