Hi everyone.

I have just reserved a lovely ex-demo 60th Anniversary XSR700 from my local dealer. I have my mod 2 test in a months time so will be trading up from my little YBR125.

I have always loved these bikes since they were first announced so am really looking forward to being able to ride it....going to be a long few weeks.

This will be my first proper bike. I have my YBR125 which I have now put over 11,000 miles on! and the lack of power is getting tedious.

I have been looking at loads of bikes XJR1300, Ducati Scrambler, Triumph Bonneville and the XSR700 has always been at the top of the list.

Thought I should update this now. Well it took slightly longer than expected to pass the mod 2 test (failed first time due to following too closely?! and had to wait another 6 weeks for the retest). However I passed on thursday and picked up my bike on friday evening.

Don't think I have stopped grinning yet. Was an absolute joy to ride in to work thismorning. Apologies for the crap pic but it was getting dark when I got it home....sure I will find lots of excuses to take better ones.

Congrats passing your test, bet you're glad to get that over with. Not something i'd like to go through these days, with the expensive, complicated hassle passing a bike test has become. Was a piece of piss in my day.
Bike looks great in those anniversary colours.
