Just had chipguard applied yesterday, run out to Whitby this morning, 500 miles on and I'm starting to love riding it, settling in now. Love the engine noise, hate the jerky throttle response though, need to see what I can do with that

Seems I've been a bit lapse in my intro, so here goes, bikes are my blood, riding since 1984, first bike Yamaha RD50M, Rd125LC, GPZ550D1, Rd250LC, RD500,ZXR750L2, RD350YPVS, FZR1000exup, Fireblade, GDXR600, Ducati748, GSXR1000, ZZR1400, GSXR750 on track, now the Anni R1, probably missed a few but I'm getting old. Pretty steady away now cos I don't bounce like I used to do, love to rack a few miles up and always heading north it to east coast, not sure about any mods yet to Anni but we will see, I always say that and then spend a fortune. Cheers
