While I wait on various sundry parts for the scrambler, I got temporary certification for the TT replica and took it on some test rides. Approximately 90km worth of dead bugs on the fairing. Bike seems to ride as it should. All the consumables (tires, brakes, rotors, etc) are brand new, and the front brakes are bedding in nicely. Bike starts easily on the button. Being a 600-based engine (with a 680 kit), it is not fast by any means, but sounds good with the 2-1 and megaphone exhaust. For the little I've ridden it, it also handles great (being super light), with a very racey seating position. Like any project, the to-do list is never ending, from a valve check to fine-tuning the sprocket alignment. If the weather holds, once I get it back from our version of the MOT centre, I'll take it to a "cruise night" tonight.
