Having been out today for a first real ride on the RE (70 odd miles A roads and back lanes) I'm well pleased with it but green laning will have to wait until I've fitted suitable tyres and even then will definitely have to be very mild green laning, really tarmac with the odd patch of gravel ; )
Ground clearance, foot rest position, weight, tank width, handlebars, suspension travel, grabby rear brake (pretty much everything) means its going to be a street scrambler in pretty much style only.

K&N and shorty silencer ordered for next week as feels like it needs to breath a bit more freely and the original silencer is outrageously ugly, I mean seriously, eye offendingly ugly, not to mention far too quiet.
