As I've already dived into starting threads and replying to others, I thought I'd better say hello 👋

I live down here in Devon, in the Blackdown Hills area. I bought my 17RS back in May having fallen out of love with my Kawasaki 1400GTR.

I've ridden boxer engined BMW's for years, parting company with my last one, an 1100LT, in 2007. I had a break from bikes until I bought the GTR in 2020.

As I grew weary of the big Kwak I stumbled on the 'new' RS and immediately liked the look of them. I test rode my RS and knew I wanted it within 400mtrs of riding it...what a fabulous machine!

Looking forward to riding the NC500 on it in September as my 60th birthday treat to myself 😃

Welcome Moogus, should be a great bike for the NC500 - and decent for the long ride through England to get you started.

Thankyou Boxerboy. Going 2 up as Mrs Moogus is a recent test pass (at 50, bless her) and doesn't feel ready for a long haul just yet.

Do you still have your under screen nav set up? I'm toying with buying the moto-mate bracket but will try the 125mm ally bar suggestion 1st 🤞

This bike behaves superbly 2-up. Yes I�m all in favour of the satnav relocation, a big improvement in my view.
