Hi, new owner

Well, I've got it now, had a boring and slightly painful 2.5hr ride home yesterday, which I did in one hit - about 130-140 miles.
She runs great and is VERY clean, I'm now having 2nd thoughts about using it every day for work!
Went for a half hour blast yesterday after cleaning it and having a rest.
First impressions; seat is a bit thin, riding position is OK but you really feel how far back you're sat and after 2 months away from the RSV, I forgot how vibey and odd they feel until they smooth out at about 5-6k rpm. Suspension must have been fiddled with, the front is rock hard over bumps and the rear feels under-sprung and overdamped unusually?
HAPPY though!
It's just brightened up after overnight rain and I've got to trapse round the shops with the mrs. now! Will have to stay sober and go out later on for a bit!
