better to have it tested tbh, i personally wouldn't want to ride some thing that didn't have the brakes tested fully

I've never had a new bike with zero miles. My S1000RR came with 2 on the clock. They have to run the bike with the engine running to check for problems.
And by design the clock won't have an easy way to reset the mileage (for obvious reasons!)

Nice but get some Chinese levers and replace the monstrosities bike manufacturers use as standard.

You'll have to explain that one to me, what's wrong with the levers and why would I replace them with Chinese ones?
Soldato
The levers fitted as standard to most bikes are not the best looking things ever made. I know it's just cosmetic but the fact you can get Chinese levers very cheap, and they're great quality, it's one of the most popular upgrades people seem to make. Here's a photo of the levers I put on my ER6f some years ago and one of the clutch lever in place. They're the normal length ones I now prefer the shorties. At the bottom is a shorty I had on my Versys.

Do you have an issue with tyres not warming up out there? Or are you using specific tyres for the climates?

It's 18 degrees!
The snow is there because it's freezing overnight and there was around 12 feet of it before it started melting.

They're the2wheels and they've changed the design in 2014 and they now have 7 positions.
For the cost they are an excellent product and it wouldn't surprise me if they were manufactured in the same factory as the expensive branded levers are.

The quality of the machined and anodised finish are usually very good , but tolerances can be suspect and the bit that really gives away their origins is the absence of a proper bronze bush for the pivot.
