First ride out on Son of Grenade... Apologies for the dull day...

Image

Yes yes, I need to put the CPS cover on

Bit chilly so only did MOT and a quick ride around to get the feel of it and take a pic or two...

Observations:

1. SE536 cams make it a lot more lively - will need to do a back to back test with Grenade, but I don't think Grenade wheelies as good in 2nd gear :D
2. Reacts more to wiggling the bars at higher speeds than Grenade (Contis v's Dunlops maybe)
3. Suspension needs some setting up
4. Rear brake is great
5. Front brake is great
6. It is great to be back on a Buell

Nothing is polished on it, polishing means I am not riding...
