Nice ride out today and it didn't feel like the lockdown at all, every biker was out enjoying the weather....
Out today (31st March) with @rotaxracer near Ashdown Forest and saw a V4 turn off in front of us, Red with a pillion on board. Tempted to chase but didn’t want to skid on the oil leak!
First ride out for MOT test since damp return from a service and remap at Luigi Moto to remove exhaust valve last year. Either too long in lock-down, or the remap has made a noticeable difference to the midrange power!! If you need a recommendation for servicing and/or mapping in the West Country look no further....
Last week met up with a couple of my old biking buddies all at that age where nothing will do apart from a Multistrada
Indeed, 1987 so 2nd year of production. Just got it. 1 owner, 15k miles and original, as far as I can tell. It was the Suzuki or pay a bit off the mortgage or top up the pension....
Great garage buddy, I had a 1100J back in ‘89. Missile in a straight line but questionable handling Had to sell it to fund racing the KR1S (wish they were both still in my garage). Doug
Had Mk 1 & Mk 2 750's & later, an 1100K. The k was better after you removed the factory fit steering damper. A bit flighty over bumps but at least it didn't stand you up in corners when trail braking. Binned it in the end and subsequently went racing for 3 seasons. Much more fun!
I’m enjoying my new V-4, and grateful I dodged the recall while hoping there aren’t more to come. Had my local paint guy hydrodip the grey away and put my own camo spin on it with Kryptek.
