The dealer called today saying my 880RE has arrived.
They're waiting on one of the accessories to come in (knuckle guards, centre stand or Oxford grips - I didn't ask which) before building and PDI'ing, so I've booked Thursday and Friday off next week to go and get it. Just got to hope the forecast improves, as it's pants right now. Friday or even Saturday are my backups just in case it is coming down stair rods.
It is going to be a long week!

Looking forward to reading your first impressions on the new bike. I was talking to feller up at Rothbury last week with an RE and he was full of praise for it. He reckons it was almost a torquey as his 1200GS in real-world situations, nearly as comfortable and a lot more fun to ride. It will hopefully be more reliable too. I don't doubt the reliability bit...

Trying to keep busy in the garden, so I don't sit staring at the weather forecast for Thursday, willing it to improve.

Popped into my local Suzuki dealer this week, they have a DE and a couple of RE's in stock, in the showroom.
They all look very nice, and shiny, and brand new and such.
Just sayin.

Sad day. Took the accessories off my T100 that are not part of the PX. I keep feeling a bit sorry for Hugh as I'm only changing the bike 'cos I feel like it, but then I remember I'm getting a new toy
