So back in Feb I bravely canvassed opinions on what I should buy after just passing my full test....I'd need a massive wallet and garage for all of the suggestions!!
After much deliberation, hopping on and off many many bikes and a few test rides that included a Dullville, NV750 and an ST1100, I ended up at Greenham Kawasaki where they, literally, tossed me the keys for a few bikes...
Tried the Versys 650...too big, tried the Ninja 650....a sports bike so nope....and then jumped/sat down onto Vulcan S Cafe and was sold :-)
12mths old and only 550 miles on the clock mid-March and she's now due her 7500 mile service
Lost the rear seat, added tail tidy and brake/indicator strip, got given 4 m-blaze pins (£££) and a rather loud sound bomb....still thinking about the exhaust and will need a new rear tyre as well as the service as a few too many straight miles :-(
And I'm all booked for the IoM next year, I'm mildly addicted I think...
