First Road test of the 550

So,
I finally get the chain... shorten it.... give a once over of the bike and head off for the first real road test of the all new super improved 550. 14 / 50 gearing....1st...4 feet 2nd...on the gas and vertical, 3rd vertical, 4th vertical....mmmmthis is good...3rd round the bend and up the street roll on half throttle... vertical, 4th vertical, 5 th vertical...phuck this is ****.

Bit of a cruise on surrounding streets top gear...86 k's roll on to half .....Vertical...man I gotta run a 48 or this thing will never wear out a front tyre...

a. Feels exactly like the520 to wheelstand ...nice....I know that feeling

b. super strong brakes

c. Far more brutal power delivery than the 520...by a country mile....love it

d. Shoei VFX W helmets are the go...fit like a glove

Another week or so and I'll have rego, a 48 tooth rear sprocket and shortly there after hit the bush for the first time in 3 years...can not wait....yummo...sorry guys but just had to share the experience....

Cheers

Pilot

Thanks Wal,
Coming of a 520 you do know what I mean....Look forward to hooking up for a ride some time in the future...can't wait to get this thing dirty, should be a buzz...I think my fitness is going to need to be upgraded to hang on to it....

Ride safe

Cheers
