Hello my name is GaryS I'm a new MT owner and I thought I would join up as I used the forum to make some buying decisions and was a member of CBR1000RR when I had a Blade ( before a couple of thieving little twats stole her two weeks ago). Unfortunately it's hard to have a sports bike in London unless you have a secure garage at home and work and take your bike everywhere you go. Football, bowling, toilet etc. I got fed-up with the anxiety and the cost so I decided to get the best non- sporty I could. That bought me here. Other than missing the power surge handling and the slipper clutch I'm loving my MT more every day. On my first ride I though she had cut out as I opened the throttle and felt the engine stutter! I had accidentally gone up to the rev limiter in first. I just needed to re programme my brain and right hand which took about 15 mins. The front wheel likes to pop up! Excellent! I have the ABS and my slow low rolling stoppies are a thing of the past now too but other than the super soft suspension I have no complaints - I'm even falling slightly in love with her. Anyway this is just to introduce myself. The CBR forum was really good with lots of helpful guys and I hope I have the same experience here. She's a yellow late 2015 model and currently totally standard although I aim to change that when I can ( afford it). Cool- thanks. Good to be here.GaryS
