I'm pleased the engine feels solid...I really want to like these bikes.
I was just concerned about the ancillaries... switchgear, wiring etc looked a bit on the flimsy side and didn't inspire confidence on my part....plus even in the showroom the alloy on the left side casing had already started to look rather dull...and no it wasn't the demo bike either.
I'm waiting to see how the ones around here survive a British winter...lots of damp and roads liberally strewn with road salt.
My Thunderbird isn't too bad so long as it's kept clean and wiped down after use but even so I tend to ride my old Tiger 955i as it's not got any shiny bits on it to rot away.
But let's see .....
