    First proper run....

    Well I have just spent the weekend in Weston Super Mare and I went down from London on the @.

    The bike was faultless.... It was only 130 miles each way but I sat at 85mph most of the way and It just purred along the motorway.

    Stopped once for a leg stretch half way and didn't find the seat as bad as some on this site do. I did a 2500 mile tour around Europe in 6 days last year on a VFR800 and everybody was complaining about the seats on those as well. I think if I was doing 300 miles a day or more then I would probably get a gell pad or something like that.

    Has anyone here used them?.. are they any good?..
