Seein as I get the bike in a couple of days I thought I should do the usual new bike review.
Will start this one with my hopes for the bike seeing as I don’t yet have the keys! lol []
After the 640 I am hoping for something that feels as light as my 250,
am also hoping for a little more power, have heard of 4th or even 5th gear wheelies on standard gearing so think the power/torque is gonna be fine lol
with a dry weight of under 120kg and my EXC250 being 105kg its not gonna feel that much heavier []
I have very high hopes for this bike and really don’t want to be dissapointed.
I can’t wait to get it run in [8]

Looks stunning, and I can sense that you are little bit excited by the fact your reviewing it already despite the fact you have not even ridden it yet!

Picked the bike up this morning…. OMG its light, practically have to tie it down else it’ll float off away! lol []
Still not even heard it run as today has just been one of those crazy days, tomoz is maybe going to be the same but hopefully I will get the chance to go for a pootle up on base along the road to Arrochar during the week, just hope the weather holds

Took the little beasty out for its first spin earlier [] and OMG OMG OMG what a naughty little thing it is, so far only has 30 miles covered but it is VERY lively, I can’t wait for it to be run in and the tarmac to warm up a bit!
Was lifting its front on light throttle on the crests in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I know crests aint proper indication but I so think this bike is going to be exactly what I was after! []

I will set up a rota, we should have it nicely loosened up for you, especially Max. I love it when the biking community gets together to help each other…
