First test ride (New bike - Another VFR800)

So sadly after 14,000 miles my 04 VFR gave up and the head gasket went - Changed the exhaust as mechanics originally thought it sounded like that was blowing but soon after started to see coolant from the rear cylinder :/

Me and dad aren't exactly ideal for doing an engine swap so...A new bike was the easy option - this one appeared very locally, snagged for a decent price and yeah...Other will be sold for parts.

Plotted a 40 mile trip on CaliMoto and even though it was a little wet decided to go out and have some fun - When I got home I swapped the tyres out because these Battleaxe ones were awful for the cold/wet conditions

Thanks for the video I enjoyed watching it. What is the whining noise particularly on engine braking? Is there a problem with something?
