This is a great all rounder bike and a surprisingly good performer. It has a very torquey motor which makes it easy to ride, especially for less experienced riders or as a commuter bike, but it also comes alive further up the rev range providing spirited excitement when the occasion demands it!!
The bike belongs to my fiancee'. It has been pretty well unused for the last year as she has returned to full time study, commutes on a smaller bike and prefers to ride pillion on trips away with me - so its time to sell it.
Compared to many sports bikes these machines have a pretty comfortable seat and they suit riders who are a bit short in the leg department (having said that ,I'm 6ft2in and I have also enjoyed a few short rides on it - but I would be too tall for a really long trip without having to stop regularly (maybe I'm just getting old??)
Extras include a scott oiler (automatic chain oiler) which makes chain maintenance much less of a hassle, it has hot grips fitted, an optional Givi screen for a bit more wind protection and it has a topbox which could be negotiated into the deal. The first owner of the bike also put extensions on the mirror stems to improve the view behind (so you can see past your shoulders better) and slightly raised the bars for a more comfortable upright position
I put a new air filter in it a short time ago. No known issues, In very tidy condition. New price for these is around $12,495 now so it represents good buying at this price but if you want to make an offer thats close then try us.
Cheers
