My riding technique needs some revising now, as my 250R style doesn't translate well to the bigger brother. 1st - 2nd changes need to be stronger as I kept finding neutral taking off from traffic lights. Also riding position is very different, more upright, so some new bars may be in the near future.:D

Looks great. Best of luck!

Tell your wife congratulations on the new bike and to introduce herself if she hasn't already.

Cool, congrats on the new ride :)

Hi Zandit! giggles!

Enjoy!!!

Very nice-looking bike. The fourth one of the 650R confused me. I thought those reflective lines were scratches on a brand-new bike on a place that only touches road in a rider's wildest nightmares.

Don't worry it happens! Us Taswegians get the same crap from the mainlanders as the kiwi's do, so I'll let it slide.........This time!!!:D

BTW, the colour is called Island Metallic Blue, same as the '10 250R's.
