250 mile trip in the Hill Country of Texas , big roads and small farm roads .
Love the bike , getting used to way less engine braking than my old Le Mans 111.
Quick shift nice , but gear box has an old BMW cluck going into first hope it gets better with use, RPM in netural seems high at 1200 rpm , which might lead to the 1st gear cluck.
Front brake quite grabby while going slow ,
The only real complaint I have is the heat coming up around your feet from the exhaust collection /cat box under the gear box , it was 84 here today and the bike oat said 90 . And when you slowed down you could really feel the heat , I would guess some one will
build a great two pipe exhaust system to get rid of the heat sink.
Yes a great modern Le Mans replacement . Nope not in the UK, this is in Kerrville TX.
