Hi and welcome to the forums aldav.

I take it you've got one of the 2010 models as it bronze. Its the colour I would have gone for as well. Enjoy the ride on Thu!

I've got the brown one too - wasn't sure at first but I really like it now.  Make sure you use the economy mode on motorways etc - it makes a big difference - about 4-5mpg on a run.  And when the damn fuel warning comes on you can switch it so you can stop the damn lcd screen flashing constantly

Do what...get out on the Bloody thing now....!  That's an order..LOl Best rides I've ever had been in Winter..then again I live in the Relatively warm SW , right beside the Sea ( Born here...) . Come summer time around here no room on the Roads , cause of the Grockles & Caravans...

Please dont take me seriously either....enjoy the Bike...! ;D ;) 8) :o
