Took my decommissioned '96 bike for it's first proper run. New Pirelli Diablo Scooter tyres, Reactive cartridge emulators & springs up front, Hagon rear shock (38mm cartridge) with remote preload at the back, and fresh grease on the linkages.

Absolutely wonderful, now handles as well as any modern bike, revs like stink, and was just an easy comfortable pleasure to ride. Did remind me why I tend to avoid larger bikes though... I can't help thrashing them! My R6 5EB was boring unless thrashed, and when thrashed I risked jail if caught. The GPX I can thrash at more (or less) legal speeds. Plus it's lighter, cheaper, more economical. What's not to love?!
