    Hi,
    I'm Charles, 48, from France.
    I've just ordered a 1200 Orange Speed Twin and should have it before the end of the month.
    I'm new to british bikes. Previous bikes I owned where 1098 Ducati StreetFighter (2010), Moto Guzzi V11 Le Mans Rosso Corsa (2003), Ducati 748s (2000), Ducati 750 Sport (1989), Cagiva 125 Mito (1992) and Yamaha 125 RDX (1982), and I still have a 888s Ducati (1998) and my MV Agusta F4 750 SPR (2004).
    For the moment my Speed Twin will remain stock except the tail tidy, but I'm really looking for the shock upgrade (any one tried Fox?).

    Hi Charles, welcome to the fold :)

    That's a sweet ride you have bought yourself! Has it arrived. I have the Fox OE upgrade shocks on my T100 and i really like them. The fit like a glove and are really nice.

    You can also look at ohlins if the costs are the same.

    Welcome Charlys, probably a bit of a memory test but what were your thoughts on the 125 Mito?
    Quite fancied one of those, two stroke, 7 speed, nice and lightweight, what's the downsides?
