Picked this up tonight after work. 2000, 955 Sprint. Have been on a short ride and compared to my RD400 this thing is a completely different animal. The RD is a bike that weighs 120kg with a full tank. The RD has tight steering and feels good. This new bike is a heap wider and a lot heavier and different steering and higher off the ground. It's going to take me some time to get used of it.
Must have been over three years since I have even ridden a bike. The test ride I was really nervous and didn't open it up. On the way home I sat on the speed limit. It seems to be revving quite low at the speed limit, so once I suss out things a bit I reckon I might go one tooth down on the front sprocket.
I will do an oil change in the coming weeks and fill it with 15w 50 as recommended and a new filter.
I am hoping to pick up some leathers tomorrow after work. Plan is to take the bike, as it will be less than $10 in petrol as apposed to $20 or so in BT.
