Registered, insured and on the road; only 2.5 months late but after 29 years, well worth the wait. Yesterday was my first real ride, about 30km to blow the cobwebs out. I brought it home after about 10km to plug into my SynchPro vac guages and tweak the carbs; settled down to between 1000 and 1100 rpm tickover; I got nervous below this as it sounds like it's going to stall. I'll probably try again this weekend after a longer run. The engine is very smooth; pick-up is strong and consistent and the handling is firm. I have new Ohlins shocks at the rear, set at the longest notch; only me on the saddle for now and it feels fine but I need more time to assess properly.
My plan is run her naked for a few weeks just in case I need to do any tweaking. The freshly painted fairing is waiting in a spare bedroom. In the interim, not the cheap LED front blinkies courtesy of Amazon.
Some pics after my run:
