Ta.

I'm waiting for details when it will be available. They got the bike already but I've had one of the packs which includes panniers and fog lights, so they need to order that in and get it all fitted. There's a tracker on it as well.

New bike day is a week on Saturday. I could pick it up this Saturday but I've got stuff to do and Mrs K is at work.

MV Agusta had one of those Pirelli dragsters in the shop. I didn't like it, it's too fussy.

I did like the DCT, but I felt a little disconnected from the bike. Plus I lacked confidence doing little things like a turn in the road. It's a tall and heavy bike so I had to put my trust in the DCT to work for me the way I wanted. I'm sure it's just me being a dinosaur but I feel more in control if I'm doing the clutch work.

The up/down q/s with auto blipper is £600.

Do I or don't I?

It does seem expensive.

But. Auto blipper. Mmmmm, auto blipper.

Do it.

If you intend using it as a commuter, the autoblipper is very useful IMHO.

I was going to ask what the auto blipper does, but obviously it blips automatically.

A better question would be how does it work?



And yeah, do it!

Do it. You wouldn't think twice about adding it afterward as a bling upgrade. Just the initial OTD £££ hit is giving you pause for thought.
