Newbie From South Cambs

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Ben Ely, Jun 11, 2014.

  1. Hi all,

    Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Ben from South Cambs/Suffolk/Essex area. Been riding for 4 years. Previously had all jap bikes (mainly Kawasaki). Now riding a 796 Hypermotard. Most fun I have ever had on two wheels. Loving it. And just done my first trackday on it at Rockingham. Looking forward to chatting with you all! Cheers!

  11. The SM will be the winter hack unless i decide to keep the kawasaki and stick a set of wets on it for our wonderful wet winter

  15. Morning :Happy:

    I have to say I found the Hypermotard took some getting used too, but now I love it

  16. I agree the sm is a great fun bike lacks pure speed but the whole fun factor makes up for it and the noise it makes
