Dropped by the CCM stand, hadn't planned too but Foggy was giving a talk about his new bike, so why not.
Had a perch on a few different configurations of the Spitfire just to take the load off whilst listening, and blow me they're rather good. If you went off pictures online and youtube you'd think it was a lash up, but sit on one and they feel just right, the seat, the bars, the pegs, the controls are just there, right where they should be, weirdly it felt like a bespoke bike that had been plonked on the stand just for me;
That was my thoughts when I sat on one at the NEC
Do it, get one.

Have to say, I agree.
There are very few bikes I'd be embarrassed to be seen on, but that's definitely one of them :thumbdown:
