She's good on a run, really comfy. Take her over 7k & then she becomes a different bike, before then she's nicely behaved and happy to poodle along. I dunno why so many people go for CB's/CBR's as a first big bike, the Cat is a great bike, I've got no complaints thus far (touch wood). ;D

Couple of scuffs, clutch level end is missing & it might need a new clutch cable. Considering she's 14 years old I think it's nothing drastic.

Have thought about a track day just to have a crack at it more than anything, planning to do an advanced riding course early next year. Had a word with my instructor about it when I passed my test & he said he'd happily do it when I've ridden a big bike consistantly for 6 months or so so I've got a good feel for the bike. I'd just like somewhere to open it up for a bit, I get up to 85(ish) and then back away (ol bill are everywhere where I live).
