NEW BIKE REVIEW
« on: September 01, 2020, 19:59:07 »
Well...ITS HERE.. :lala:..I have attached some photos and my thoughts...first photo as it arrived...LOVELY.. :bow-blue:..second and third photo...with my extras attached ( garage floor is now empty !! )...  :shrug:...fourth photo showing refitting of luggage with straps under seat.......SO.......coming from a rather LARGE touring bike I thought the stock screen would be too small so ordered a givi airflow before bikes arrival.....was I so wrong....on 50 mile ride from dealer the stock screen suited me just fine !. however I have fitted the givi, keep it in its lower position and the option for adjustment is always there.....I wanted the rear of the bike as narrow as poss but still have luggage....the bags I have fitted have lift out liners that hold your clothes etc., this enables me to leave the bags on bike permanently to use as normal panniers, because of this I have put all fitting straps under the seat, out of sight  :)...still taping topbox backrest on and off while wife decides which is best.. :shrug:....had two rides out up to now, covered 280 miles, getting 500 service next Thursday then off on hols...no plans just follow the sun.. :sunny: :shrug:.....I am really,really happy with the bike and looking to catch up with you all in the future......I now feel like a club member. :) :)

That colour scheme makes me think of the JPS F1 cars :thumb:

Yep, JPS colours for me, too.  Anyone remember the allegedly faster SDP Puch mopeds in copycat colours (Steyr Daimler Puch)

Looks great, the JPS colour scheme is very 70’s.

Where did you get it from and did you get a good deal, only asking as I live in the northeast and am looking for either a 650 Strom or 650 Versys.
