Hi guys! It's been a long time coming but with retail shops now reopening, I've finally been able to take another bike out on a First Date, courtesy of my friends at Frasers of Gloucester.

I have to say that when I was going through the footage, I realised that I am a bit ringrusty when it comes to bike reviewing! So this isn't one of my best efforts and I'm sorry about that.

I hope you do at least enjoy the sound! Some of my recent videos have been a bit disappointing when it comes to hearing the exhaust so I think I've got a solution for that now
