Went to pick up a 48 from Riders today , unfortunately they didn't have one so i ended up hiring 1200c , same riding position and engine as the 48 , but 10 kgs heavier , the extra 400cc makes all the difference , plenty of torque , handling was fine , much better than i expected , sounds great , did lots of overtakes , filtering is excellent as the cagers hear you coming and get out of the way , i could see myself getting a 48 in a couple of years , rode it to Weymouth , then onto Minehead , then back to Riders of Bristol , 230 miles of sunshine and dry roads , it was fantastic .
