Hello. And oooo - I plan to try and get a test ride on an MT10 (probably won't let me test an SP, but I probably won't be able to afford that anyway!!) .

A mate looked at me in horror yesterday and told me that the MT10 is just a total lunatic bike - this does not put me off!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :angelic-green: :angelic-green:

Welcome in - someone may offer a pineapple hegdehog at some point :lol: :lol: :obscene-drinkingcheers: :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Is the 22b reference to the Uber rare unicorn version of the Impreza?

I found the MT10 more civilised than the Super Duke R, I am a short arse so most bikes have me on my tiptoes, a lot mental re-djustment was required when I moved over to the DCT Xadv,

Welcome to the forum.

How do you find the X-Adv, especially as an owner of very fast bikes previously?

I keep thinking about getting and X-Adv but haven't taken the leap yet.

:thumbup: :thumbup: I always thought I had long legs (had to buy longer jeans than 'standard') until I started riding bikes :lol: :lol: :lol: The first bike I've had that I can get both feet flat is a very old Monster 600 - and I can bend my knees as well :shock: :shock: It's like a dinky toy!! :lol :lol:

Good to hear about the MT10. I've had a TLs (97) and an old ZX10r, so figure I won't be too scared :D :D

Knocking on 60 years old, it fits my needs perfectly, I tend to ride more upright these days and enjoy the views, its got more than enough speed etc and I can see the potholes and camera vans way more than I did on my naked's, I added all packs so have touring capabilities luggage wise, heated grips etc, I would recommend an extended test drive to see if it fits your needs, it does pleasantly surprise a lot of people who actually ride it, most negative point is attraction to thieves,

Not sure that I can explain how a pineapple hedgehog became the default party food for welcoming people to a forum but it started waaaaaay back and there was a specific emoji on a predecessor to this forum

We don't have that emoji on here and, try as I might, I couldn't find it anywhere.

^^^^ that's as close as I got. A sort of cheese/sausage/Ogen melon hedgehog. :lol:
