First date with my spanking new K8

[BUSGO]

Any things in particular to look for as far as pre-delivery goes?

I checked everything visually on mine, especially paintwork, dash, tyres etc - not really in the know as far as other things go...

Also I checked to make sure it handled right etc... lol.

Actually while I'm asking newbie running-in questions again, can I take a pillion with me during the running-in phase? (never had a new anything before this busa)

I'd be checking that the brake calipers, steering head nut, all bodywork screws, axle nuts and other likely objects are tight and also that the throttle cables are properly adjusted.
Of course you set the clutch, brake and gear levers to suit your own taste or size.
