Great service from Steve the dealer for KHS, he was out testing the bike in the carpark when I got their, ensuring all was working as should be...
When I got to the place the sun was shinning in the sky, but when I left 5 minutes down the road the heavens opened up and an absolute deluge of rain for the entire journey home...so get back news paper down and dry off the bike...

Cant wait to get out on it and try out the plush air suspension....

It rides very nice as well, smooth and the gears are like a hot knife through butter smooth...
