Hi All

Just thought I'd post an update. Had the bike now just about a month, still only added another 600km, but I'm more than happy with bike so far, so much so, my own should be ordered by the end of the month, well I don't see why the stepson should have all the fun!! The problems with the idling speed, were quick and easy to sort out, now no more problems at all, always starts first time, what else is there to say, what a quality bike !!

If you're thinking of getting 1, don't just think, do !!

Cheers

Hi all

Sorted in the end, through rampdale, £400 exactly.

Now this may sound alot, but, bear in mind he's 19, passed his test less than a week ago, and has no no claims bonus !!

MCE were more than useless, they misquoted 3 times, the worst being they'd realised after they'd taken the money out to pay for cover, then realised they'd cocked it up, cancelled the policy, but now I'm waiting for the refund to re-appear in my bank !! bloody marvelous !!

Some of the other insurance companies, were rather expensive, but that was purely down to the fact he's only 19, has no no claims bonus and has only passed his test 4 days ago !!

Norwich union were the funniest, when told the engine size (400cc), and his age the sales lady said, I might as well stop you there, as for young drivers, anything over a 100 you will find that we're not competative at all !! I at least admire her honesty !!

Some quotes were rediculous to the point of being sublime, Carol Nash £3000 !! Oh please!!, do me a favour !!

Another I did quite like was Bikesure, TPFT £560, including legal fees and helmet/clothing cover.

Anyhow, it's amazing how many of these insurance companies are related to each other !! Feel like I've been going round in circles !!

Anyhow, long and short rampdale the best, Bikesure good, Carol Nash, well the less said and finally MCE worst insurance company, of any form, I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

Cheers

Tony

also rides great !!

Thouroughly recommended all round :-)

Hi

That's exactly the same as mine, just minus the skygo branding. It's a lovely bike isn't it :-)

Hi All

Well, what can I say, I looked, I sat, I bought !!

What a lovely bike, what can I say.

it had 214 KM on the clock, so certainly not run in yet. As a result, the idle needed some tweaking, maybe because it's new, or maybe because of the previous owner, or a bit of both !!.

Anyhow, I decided I should take it gently, so started the intended A road run from Wigan to Wolverhampton.

The bike sounds, and handles delightfully, and even though it's not run in, the ease with which it reached 60-70mph, persuaded me to try some of the motorway, again, the bike handled  the motorway perfectly.

I have to say, I'm impressed, and it makes for the perfect 2nd bike to my VTX1300, I'm really looking forward to how it'll perform once it's been properly run in.

Cheers

Tony
