    Lovely roads out there. I used to live out that way. Took the Speed Twin for a test ride and I thought it was awesome too!

    Put it in rain mode around town, snatch disappears. Pick mine up Thursday changing from an 800 xrx hope I’ve got it right

    Picking my Speed Twin up Thursday, chopping in 800 xrx as it’s getting a bit heavy but was brilliant on NC500 last week I hope the ST goes as well the reviews say !

    I am sure you will be pleased with the ST. You are right about the rain mode, calms it down in low gears. Enjoy your new bike and safe riding Captainjm

    Hi like you loving my speed twin, not heard from anybody that do not love it. The 2 in 1 exhuast is interesting; do you have a picture of the left side of the bike?

    Hi Bob1, what do you think about the seat, I’ve been thinking on changing from the stock one to the one you have, but at £250, wondered if it makes enough difference apart from the look?

    I also went for brown quilted seat and it is a little better than the stock seat IMHO.....

    mine came with it fitted so I haven't tried the original but I think its for the look rather than extra comfort.

    My seat is getting a reshape and memory foam. It's a plank!

    I must admit my Thruxton was snatchy when I first got it, but afer the first service the only time it’s gets snatchy is if I put it in sport

    Terrific piece of machinery there and fantastic pictures. Inmates are going to be totally enthralled tonight with that selection. Nursey is going to love you ( not that much mind you ) but a little as she will get a well-earned rest. So do enjoy the steed and those roads and scenery can't disappoint.
    Regards & Ride Safe.
    Joe.
