My 2015 Red Hyperstrada

JoshWyard · Nov 29, 2022

Thought I'd start a thread of my bike which I purchased in August! I bought this as my first big bike, having only just passed my test in the UK in October.

Photos of when I bought it, only having 781 miles from new, all belts been done and full service history.

Have a few plans for it!

Tail tidy was a must! So I went and bought the R&G one.

Wow! Only 781 miles since 2015? Might be time for fresh fluids also.

Yeah I know pretty crazy, has 1300 now though and I have changed a few more things since the first picture. Doing the coil swap to eldor ones to so will chnage the fluids, air filter and spark plugs at the same time.

Frame plugs fitted, R&G front, middle, rear and bar end crash protectors fitted and R&G shock protector.

I'm impressed that this is your first real bike! Time was when something much more modest was the expectation for new riders.

Each to his own, I guess, but every tail-tidy I've ever seen is a mess and is a poor substitute for the version designed in keeping with the rest of the bike. Bits of stamped-out alloy add nothing to the look. Plus the OEM unit surely helps with keeping muck off the rider's back. And don't get me started on the advertising slogans most accessories inevitably display. Ohlins possibly: R&G definitely not!

Glad you're enjoying your bike. It's about time someone gave that girl some love. Part of the fun of owning a new toy is buying fun bits to put on it. Carry on and cheers from Eastern Canada!
