Well all done and thankfully no rain.

New Tyre fitted to the front end, A Bridgestone BT016

New springs and oil fitted to the forks, I'll have to have to wait and see how they perform over the next few days/weeks, but at least I can brake at full power and it doesn't feel like the front end is diving into the road.

The HyperMotard - What a Hoot, wouldn't want to do a long trip, Seat is very hard, But it is a wheelie machine!!
Over geared, I would add a few teeth to the rear sprocket, But I loved the sound of the Termi kit on the Hyper.
Lots of fun around town, very easy to throw around but useless for commuting, the handlebars are far to wide and it's very hard to lane split with (almost impossible)
If I had to run up and down the local ranges all the time, I would own one, but for all round use, I prefer the Monster.

you could notice the extra torque of the 1100 then 

first thought on the straight road "why is the front wheel so high?" 

[CairnsDuc]

Being used to the 800, it was very noticable the amount of extra torque.

I'll just accelerate here, Shit, Blue sky!!
Shit! close throttle, the roads back.
2nd attempt, open throttle...Blue sky again!!

I just don't understand what was going on.....Your Honour!
