But managed to put some miles on the bike which is nearly always a good thing. Got back yesterday with more new things that I suspect are wrong on the bike... brakes have gone from poor to half decent to juddery as fuck at the front and non-existent on the rear...
Travelled to Bristol from Chelmsford to get my damn passport (didn't trust the mail man) and ended up breaking down due to carb icing - bloody perfect conditions for it on the one night I needed to be clear...But managed to put some miles on the bike which is nearly always a good thing. Got back yesterday with more new things that I suspect are wrong on the bike... brakes have gone from poor to half decent to juddery as fuck at the front and non-existent on the rear...

Is this XJ6 your preferred choice over the fazer then?Err...... Fuck no! Funny thing is it feels lighter than my Faze, but is noticeably slower, 18bhp down in fact.
