been out on it for first time this weekend it handles great with the ohlins shock but you can tell the front isn't as smooth as pucka ohlins even with the ohlins springs fitted and it doesn't have that midrange punch of the milles so you need to use the box more to get the best out of it but for £1800 it's bloody brilliant seriously under rated bike.

Had bit of trouble with express insurance who i have the mille with they couldn't insure me on a multi policy and wanted to charge me £840 for a seperate policy which i politely declined so phoned carole nash groupama multi policy can have upto 5 bikes on so got the mille on and this fully comp with all the usual extras £243. How the hell can 1 firm quote this and another try to bend you over for what would of been over £1100 for both of my bikes with them?.

How I find it works
They can pull a figure out of the sky as most of the time your are f**ked Because they have your premium anyway and will also charge a cancellation fee If you got to a new company they will bust there ass for your new business And give you a blinding deal to get you on board They are all f**king theives I hate insurance companies just as much as bullsh*tting estate agents |
