It has been an odd winter here for so many reasons and I had expected to be well over 5K miles by now (picked her up in September) and instead have not cracked 1000 :-( It takes at least a thousand to get properly acquainted with a bike, I think and by 10000 they are like great friends. Hoping that my experience with this bike is as good as yours.
Wow, I couldn't agree more. I feel totally shamed by the US riders who knock up thousands of miles in record time. I've owned my bike about a month and covered about 375 on it.
I totally know what you mean about 'dialling in' over thousands of miles.
My CBR600 I rode daily for over 80 miles a day and it became like a favourite slipper (mule) on my feet.
I intend to keep this bike for ever unless I destroy it (see my forthcoming post on my near crash)..
