We just had a 46 degree day here in Melbourne ( AUS ), the hottest in Melbournes history.
( thats about 115 degrees fahrenheit ).

Hope that lovely white bike of yours is still going strong without any issues, we didn't get the white model in Aus and it is one of the nicest versions of the blade on offer.

Cheers, Paul

if you are looking for the oem hugger in carbon fiber or painted, you can find them anywhere but the US. I have an AUS contact if you need one.

I know mate.........the shame.

Our summer was so bad last year I only did just over 1000 miles. First sportsbike for years so it was a gradual case of getting confidence again. Pretty much there, I just prefer right handers to left handers at the moment, which you can see quite obviously from the state of my tyre.

Getting there though mate.

In terms of the white, can't figure out why they weren't available worldwide.

I know I'm biased, but still my fave, even over the Repsol and HRC.
