Been riding for 35 years, mostly BMW´s. I was looking for a light agile bike of good quality. This is the one. I´m still in break in period below 8k rpm now. Only problem is Carb is overflowing in the overflow tube an running a little rich. I´m still trying to find best flot level and may go to slightly larger jets to eliminate the slight hesitation at off idle roll on (caused by pollution standards).
