I’ve seen some bloody fast Harley riders. To the point where I’ve thought, how the hell can they ride like that. Sparks coming off the foot pegs!! -

Some very good points about the tech that is on bikes nowadays. -

I’m not being funny, but you are talking like you have experience. The guys that have been conversing with you on here HAVE experience and you seem to be ignoring everything that is being advised. You have an opinion, sure, but until you have gained experience you really don’t know how a small bike handles compared to a big bike. -
Go for braided line and you never have to change the lines again, just the fluid. Look for wez moto lines. They are essentially Hel lines rebranded.

On the other end of the scale I learnt to ride a motorbike when I was 14, my mate taught me on his AR50. I messed about on a KMX 125 for a bit when I was 17/18 and then never touched a bike until I did my DAS in 2006 at the age of 35. I did my CBT and then had 4 hours tuition leading up to my test. In prep for passing I bought a GS500 thinking it would do me a year until I had built up some experience. I sold it 2 weeks later as it was so underwhelming. Everyone is different so you can’t think it’s mad if a new rider jumps straight on a 1000cc bike. They really are not as bad as you seem to think they are. -
I thought it was the title of a porno…

I have nothing more to add.

At least you can recoup something back and not have a paperweight stuck somewhere.

MV Agusta Brutale. A good first bike?

Some very sensible advice there bonio. -
All bike tyres square off as that’s where the tyre sits 90% I’d the time. There should be some little wear markers inside the tread in places in the middle of the tyre. The legal tread depth for motorbike tyres is 1mm around the circumference and across 3/4 of the width of the tyre. If you can’t find/don’t have the wear markers Insert a 20p piece into the groove and take a side view. If the outer band of the coin is covered by the depth of the groove, your tyres are good.

I’ve just done a quick quote with DPD I don’t know how much you paid for it but the top quote is pretty good I tried to over estimate the size and weight; 20kg size 30cmx30cmx30

Can you not send the box back at all? After all it’s not fit for purpose.

You need to try Wybers Chippy next time you come across to Cleethorpes. Only a short detour.

As above. Buy what you like. It will only go as fast you want it to. One thing I will say though is remember what you were taught and when you need to move the bike about when parking up, get off and walk it. You will massively reduce the risk of dropping it than if you stay on a paddle backwards and forwards. Enjoy and post some pics up when you get it.
