After a 2 hour test ride I really liked the engine, the lightness of the steering, the instrumentation and the looks it made me want to ride again, the handling was great and manoeuvring through traffic was a doddle compared to the heavier VFR.
All in all I thought it was a fantastic package. Only 12 hours to collection lol :lala: Gary
