Upgraded to 1050 - big difference!
« on: September 08, 2022, 22:17:46 »
As the new reg comes in, many dealers are getting rid of any show room bikes pre-registered as 22 plates. I picked up a great deal on a 1050XT and traded my 2018 DL1000. Today I dropped off the 1000 and stepped straight onto the 1050. I couldn’t believe the difference. I wasn’t expecting such a leap forward, it’s much faster, sharper handling, very quick throttle response and very smooth ride. I’m well impressed.

Yes, they are significantly better and very good value as well!

Enjoy your new bike. I went from a Glee to the standard 1050 and am so glad I did. A bit heavier, but it’s like my 650 on steroids, a brilliant bike.
