It went well enough on the 50 mile ride home. It held 70 on the short stretch of Mway I did, with what seemed like plenty more to come, handled well round the back lanes and B roads I prefer, and was very comfortable too. Seems like its a really flexible engine too, pulling away from just over tickover in all gears. I'll be changing the oil and filter, checking the coolant and generally giving it the once over before I venture out again though!
