wavesnwheels is on a distinguished road


Thanks for the welcome, I managed to get a picture on the way to work this morning taken half way up a green lane (the bikes natural habitat ;-)). The more I ride this bike the more I love it. I did a mpg calculation after my second fill up and it's doing just over 54mpg which I'm quite happy with. Yeah I definitely made the right choice in getting this over the Honda.

My plan was to not spend any money on the bike and keep it standard but as ever I think that's unlikely. Nothing too drastic though as I want to keep costs down and not mess up the fuel economy. I've tinkered with the bars and lever positions to get it comfortable for me, I've got a set of old school Renthal half waffle grips and some Symtec Heat Demon grip warmers on order. I want to get rid of the cat so I'll either try and fit up an old akra can I've got or do the de-cat mod on the standard exhaust and then swap out the air filter.

In my dreams, usd forks excel rims talon hubs, new bars and risers bash plate etc... Lol, to be honest it's great as it is and one Yamaha definitely got spot on.

Thanks ChrisHX, sleep is definitely something I'm missing although my missus is pretty good and does the night feeds, most of the time :-/ Hope you enjoy yours as much as I am mine, is it your main transport or more for fun?
