  1. Hi All

    About time I got myself on here. I have an 848 Corse coming in March so will be trolling around here twiddling my thumbs till then. Its my first sports bike after having a series of naked bikes (currently a 1050 Speed Triple) so Im going to be dropping into corners HARD till I get used to it!

    I was hesitating about going for an in-stock 2012 Corse (at a discount) or hanging out for a new one till I saw Dementors (Roys) in the workshop. Seeing the finish on the tank I knew it would have to be the 2013.

    Roll on March 1st!!

  14. Sounds good and thanks for the warm welcome. I think I might have to have a weekend of solid riding it to run it in and get the first service out the way! Out of curiosity, does everyone adhere to limited revs during run in or just make sure not to keep it at constant revs? I know there are different viewpoints on this from Triumph owners but are twins any different?

  15. Ask a race builder, like Luigi, he says pin it from day one! Well pretty much ;)
