test drive
I had a test drive on one of them yesterday, i dont normally ride bm's and didnt go with the intention of even looking at one.
It was a supprise as i went past the local police station on one wheel, i found it light, easy to throw around, good brakes (no abs on the tester) and plenty of power, cant comment on the suspension as it wasnt set up for me, the only thing am not so taken with is the lack of pillion foot rests, the fairly small petrol tank (its just not got the range i need) and the seat height although i've been told it can be lowered a little. Despite these things am considering getting my self a flat cap, pipe, and a ferit to walk on sunday mornings before sleeping in an arm chair for the rest of the day but thats ok as i'd have the rest of the week to scare motorists on the way to and from work if i do get one.
Does anyone have any long ish term knowledge on them, things that break, wear out, need replacing or is it the usual bm thing where it will be about long after i am.
Thanks George
