The first 600 miles

Well, that came the time of the first service after 600 miles. Of which 400 miles of city driving and 200 outside the city. I would like to summarize my experience with the motorcycle during this time.
I must say that the bike was bought solely for driving in the city. Therefore, all of the following was not a surprise to me.
Riding in the city
Immediately after purchase, throughout the month I only rode to work and back. In heavy traffic, with speed limits of 20-30 MPH.
Engine
The motorcycle has the engine from a Honda CB500F, and Honda CB500X Honda CBR500R, retuned for improved torque on the "lower classes" and reduce the maximum operating speed.

Seat
Seat unlike many cruisers direct, but not feet first. What also made specifically for riding in the city.

The ride out of town
The last 200 miles before the first service I decided to celebrate with a trip out of town. The trip took about 12 hours with all the stops and snacks.

For this, a route was chosen solely on the B Roads. In short, the roads in Britain are classified by:
M — freeway with a limit of 70 MPH.
A — roads are wide Enough to be able to go 60-70 MPH.
B — Is usually dirt road passing through fields, forests and small villages.

In this case B roads, unlike the others, is very twisty and look like this.

At an average speed of 30-40 MPH is a good speaker, motorcycle very cool comes in all the turns.

The first disturbances began on the long straights where you can accelerate.
When accelerating to 50 mph and higher hear the revs that the bike rides. Although the stock is still enough, no problem to accelerate up to 80 MPH.

But comfort is not felt. The handlebars and foot pegs start to vibrate strongly, mirrors to blur. The feeling that the bike goes into survival mode and will do what is required of him, not because he likes it, but because it is NECESSARY.

Fit and the saddle also made themselves felt, after 100 miles. Ass started to go numb and a feeling that the saddle is too close forward, I steer clear back a little and stretch your legs.

Part of the way had to pass the night, and it should be noted that the light of the bike is very good. All lights and far ahead.

At first I thought to change the native on the LED light, but now I began to doubt. In the photo above — the headlight is not OEM.

For myself, I realized that the motorcycle was created for the city, and expect him to do something more stupid.

But on a relaxed trip out of town, not busy country roads — very.
Comfortable speed of 30-40 MPH. So on the highway, I would have traveled only in a very extreme case.
