Oh my goodness! Only went and bought a lovely 996 yesterday. Unsure whether I'm more scared or excited at the minute
Aw thanks guys and girls! How slow can a 996 go? Lol Will be taking it very steady to begin with as it's rather different riding position to the monster and classic bikes I've had!
Luce they can go quite slow I like the riding position it's comfy My first experience was snailing outside Estoril to see what it felt like to ride I was very surprised how easy it was Comfy as pillion too
Nice one fella. They can go quite slow, I had my first ride on mine last weekend it went quite slow untill the end of the drive.....hahhhhaaaaa That twin sound on full chat is quite intoxicating, they gather speed at an alarming rate
I guarantee for the first three weeks you will wonder what the hell you've done. But you will get used to it and you will love it. Enjoy!
Grab it by the scruff of the neck and give it full gas. I have a 998s Final Edition which looks similar and there still great looking bikes even after all these years.
If anything like my 998, then it can get to 2mph in overheated traffic conditions, then accelerate at 9.81m/s/s floorward - ask Viv, she spared the Sellotape to spare my blushes :frown: btw, congrats on the new addition, and just enjoy the buzz.
