Have just signed up after putting a deposit down yesterday on a 2014 Hyperstrada 821. Don't get to collect it for another week or so unfortunately, once it's been serviced and checked over.

It will mostly be used for fun rides out round the North East of England, but opted for the Strada over the Motard as this one comes with the panniers which might be handy for the occasional commute to the office. Also has a Termi can which should endear me to my new neighbours :D

Looking forward to picking up some tips, tricks and ideas from you all.

Cheers, Mark
 
Good luck, Mark. I also picked up a 2014 last fall. Where I live, the season is just starting. Still learning this thing, and have to say, it's a blast. When you're comfortable, loose the baggage, switch to "sport", and find some Twisties...split personality for sure!
 
Welcome Mark

I too have recently purchased a 14 HS and I love it. Goes about anywhere and it is light, nimble and a blast to ride on the street and through the woods.
Do you have the spanning tool to adjust your chain? I also had to grease up the panniers to provide easy on/off.
