I just returend from my dealer. The bike is irresistible!! They have to complete the bike this week ( screen, luggage, wheelstrips, gps mount). No registrationpapers so it will be next week (dependent on the administration in Belgium
). Hopefully the weather will be a lot better as now.
Some findings :
1. I'm 1,80m and I have a "normal" Strada but I can't put my feet completely on the ground. No problem for me but when you're smaller I think you need definitely a lowerd seat!
2. One 12V charger on the left side under the sidepanel and the other one behind the rear shok. You can't use a car charger because the chargers on the bike are smaller so I need a adjustment for my USB-charger.
3. The passengergrab is not from plastic but is Alu. I Thought to paint it white also but I found it nice in black.
4. The luggage mounts are very small. They are not really notable when the bags are disassembled and then the bike is just the same as a Hypermotard with a screen. Maybe I will paint the silver circles of the mounts black.
5. Very small dashboard! .... When you're used to that off a Monster.
6. numberplate, numberplate, numberplate so I can start riding this thing!!!!!
Sorry for the bad quality of the pics but the workshop was closed this afternoon and I only got my Iphone. The red bike behind my bike is a desmosedici rr. There was also a red testbike in the showroom. They both arrived yersterday. The best birtdaypresent I could get.
