Nice mate, you gotta love the mid-range power!!
You will be making manys a trip for new tyres if you give it alot of stick though.
p.s I like the colour, want to swap for a red one

It's a hell of a lot faster than the old one that would just about do 60 and took about a week to get there

Just be careful cruising in it, 70 feels no different to 90+
