The Shiny Orange one

(1/4) > >>

Orcade-Ian:
Just moved the 550 off the bench and had a little sneak ride down to the feet of our road and back.  Wanted to take a few pics for the insurance and actually try the thing out - hell, it's quiet and so smooth.  Gear lever seems a bit long, even in size 9's, everything else just fine.

Not sure which is the more breath taking the bike or the views in the backdrops - looks great Ian on both counts.
