    Farmer Duke
    Hi I've just joined. I bought a 749s about a month ago having only passed my test in july. Some people might think it's an ambitious first bike but I bought it with my heart. I was origonaly going to buy a CBR600, but when I went to look at one I saw the 749s parked next to it and there was no comparison and having always admired them spending the extra money was soon justified. It's a fantastic bike looks and sounds the business and I'm lucky in the fact I live on a farm so I'm straight out the drive onto long quiet country roads and can quite easily go for five or ten miles without having to stop for as much as a junction, but this has a down side when I get into town, I find the bike a bit difficult at times at slow speeds in traffic and at small roundabouts. It seems to have a minimum speed it likes to travel at before you start having to dip the clutch but this speed is a bit to fast for the road condtions. Is it just me being a novice rider? Also the hydraulic front brake buzzes is this normal? Cheers.
