Will be changing all the fluids this weekend and just kinda getting acquainted with her, but the 200(ish) kilometers I put on the bike yesterday was honestly, sincerely the most enjoyable riding I've ever done.

Bottom line - if anyone on CP needs a riding buddy for safety (or just to enjoy riding as a pair), please don't hesitate to PM. I'm a somewhat busy fella, but can usually find a way to adjust the schedule to get some miles in!

One thing I would not do, is put an aftermarket pipe on that bike. You will lose all that V4 gear driven cam / gearbox whine goodness that thing comes with right out of the box. Listening to that engine wind up in second gear with that mechanical symphony coming from just between your legs is not found on anything else I have ever ridden.
