Ok so Ive been rumbled and spotted out on my new ride in Derbyshire so I feel its time to come out of the closet and show you all my new bike. Had it delivered last monday and its awesome. So light and powerful and a great riding position. Getting used to the quickshifter now , its so much fun!

That looks good, Nick. I like it. What does it sound like?

You'd know if you turned up ;) by the way the weather was nice ALL DAY!!
Looks even nicer in the flesh

It sounds quite throaty when it gets up the revs but couldn't hear it much following firestarter

Revving it gets very addictive

I know, I know...

Anyway, Nick, I hope you're going to get a tail tidy for it. That OEM thing looks like some teenager has stuck their selfie stick to the back of your bike.

It actually quite suits it in the flesh, believe it or not. Still quite large, but doesn't look bad for it. A shorter one will be better no doubt, but every inch of that bike is gorgeous

Far better than some old Benelli

Very nice, does it have the track timing on it?

There's a similar one down the road from me, in black, shame is its a bit small for me :(

Actually the tail tidy is the only thing on my list to change.
Yes Gio it does have the lap timer on it, but then again so does the Falco.

The bike looks like a work of art, a lovely piece of kit.

The only glaring thing is it has to abide by rules and have that ugly mud guard and plate holder.

it's a shame when the rules get in the way of a good design.

I love those Brutale's, they're gorgeous.

Lovely. And I bet it sounds as good as it looks...

It really looks great Nick, the trouble is when you walk into the garage to get it out for a run at this time of year, it can go dark before you stop admiring/drooling over it.

Then again, I'm sure you'll still find the time to enjoy it!

Have fun.
