I picked up my t350t last night and put on about 75 miles. It's a Crystal Topaz Red Rose. My god, what a noise it makes, even when I'm limiting it to 3500rpm, it sounds superb, I can't wait until it's run in

Some things I've noticed:

1. I wasted money on the factory stereo upgrade, you can only hear this when the engines switched off, you cannot hear it at all when moving along! But I suppose I do have the compensation of hearing that lovely engine all day!

2. I've got the close ratio gearbox, and the throw on the lever is so much longer than on my old Griff500 - is this what other owners have found? It's also quite easy to miss 3rd gear unless you're properly palming the gearstick through the gate - luckily on the 2 occasions this has happened, I realised this before putting my foot back on the gas and overreving her.

3. Unless you've ensured that you wait until the dash goes through it's startup diagnostics, then you might find the speedometer not working. I found this out half a mile down the road, which was resolved by stopping and restarting the engine.

I've managed to get one picture of it posted into my profile, but I'll post more today when I've figured out how to include them on this thread.

Cheers
