Hello, Just purchased a 1299 after 10 years away from bikes (last was a 08 ZX10R) Owned a 996 back in 07…. These bikes have come along way since then!
Welcome Kevin, Straight in at the deep end after 10 years off with a 1299, give yourself plenty of time to get used to the speed of these things now, be careful for a while bud
Lovely machine. Supposedly very hairy chested. Love you Avatar photo, although it looks like a whole lot of pain a second later.
Thanks for the welcome everyone. Enjoying the bike so far. @GuzziGrowler indeed, paint and tarmac met in emphatic style just split seconds after this photo was taken. The track photographer did an awesome job of capturing the full sequence.
