Oh yes, proper!

Mmm. Nice big rocket ship! I always liked the way they blended the indicators into the bodywork rather than the usual stick-on afterthoughts on most bikes.

Noooo..

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Looks really nice Will, it should be very comfy and fast, a lot like my old CBR1000F that I had for 7 1/2 years, you are always going a lot quicker than you think as it is so comfy and has good wind protection.
Mine got a nickname of the supersonic sofa.
ENJOY!

Now fully serviced and a few things sorted, I took the wife for a spin last night. What a machine! Dare I say I enjoyed it more than the Falco, or am I likely to get lynched?

Good call mate. I've owned a 1200 for over 10 years and 70,000 miles, and still love it. Will be riding it from Spain & over the Pyrenees to Le Havre in a couple of weeks. Only thing with the 1100 is the brakes, not great and a bit prone to seizing. But yes, as one wag put it, the love child of a rocket and a sofa. Enjoy.
