New 1050XT arrived yesterday it was pi55ing down of rain do decided to get all the bits on then take it for a ride if it stopped
Got the alarm on, the heated grips, Sat Nav, front spot lights, small number plate, optimate lead, powered twin USB in top box, Side stand fat foot,
GR Moto carbon end can, anyway by that time it had dried out a bit and off I went
First impressions: feels a lot lighter than I expected and its lower, its heavy to get on the main stand but manageable, goes quite well but could not give it all the beans as its only done 2 miles !! handling is very good and sure footed, cruise works well, it seems quite well glues together, metal panniers and top box are really nice being top loaders, and look well made, GR Moto exhaust is very small compared to the original but has a nice finish and sounds just about right, all in all it seems like a good bike, it has not set my world on fire but that was only a 20 mile quick ride, I'm sure it will be better when I can open the taps fully
