Greetings forumites, Back to motorbikes after a 16 year break and treated myself to this fantastic '17 Supersport S. Can't believe how much things have changed since my last bike (YZF750) with up/down quick shifters, ride modes, digital displays and the host of electronic safety features available nowadays. I know the bike looks a bit grubby in the photo but the 'after wash' photo was hopelessly out of focus Plans are to try and get out as much as possible as the weather allows during the Winter, with some plans to maybe do a couple of track days when the weather gets better along with a bit of touring with mates / days out to BSB / IoM / Le Mans / etc. during the Summer. I'd originally thought about a 899 / 959 / V2 Panigale but the SS was definitely the right bike for me after such a long lay off and although the YZF was a brilliant bike a big V twin was always my dream. The SS might be joined by a V2 Panigale at some point though... Dave
Some of us not only in Cheltenham, but also got a Ducati - in the summer - after a (nearly) 16 year break.
Welcome aboard Dave and fellow Cheltonian Like the other locals above; doubtful if I'll be out again until the spring.
Welcome from Sunny Stourport on Severn. I see you have the slower S being a white one, don’t blame you with a 16 year break, ease yourself in
