OMFG if Satan rode bikes he'd keep the duke for special occasions.

I spent an hour laughing in my helmet just flinging the thing around and smacking the throttle open.

Its like a psychic, somehow it knows where you want to be and then throws you at it, spitting and popping as she goes.

Should have done this years ago

Ha, well said! Welcome aboard.

Try a new 1290....

The 990 was a challenge to get past my wife. The other 3 bikes in the garage are to blame. The 1290 is something to aim for a bit further down the line.

Until then I'm going to get back in touch with my inner hooligan.

Sorted out 990 may be more fun than 1290 at 1/3 of cost.
