Passed its MOT
« on: June 03, 2025, 09:58:29 AM »
Very pleased The XBR passed its MOT, the new swinging arm and suspension have given the bike a different feel, definately smoother over the bumps, the steering is a lot quicker now as the head angle has changed due to the slightly higher back end, Im now waiting for the nice weather to come back and for the show season to start, my first is on Sunday at the Maverics marvellous motorcycle show

A quick video showing the swinging arm build and a short bit of the ride to the MOT station, Im listening to the video from 50 seconds, the bike is around 2250 rpm I think it sounds like a V1 doodlebug :)

Only 9 seconds long, This single is no longer a sleepy thumper, it now sounds very angry
