With 'Givi' fairing, 'Daytona' heated hand-grips and 'Ventura' pack-rack
Workshop serviced every 6000km and anyone who has ridden with me will tell you it hasn't been thrashed.
Doesn't burn any oil and gives me just on 20km/l. A set of tyres lasts about 17000km. Has just had a new battery. WOF until May and Rego until September.
Great around the city but has also done a four day trip to the West Coast, two up and with luggage (the last half through pouring rain) without missing a beat.
I hope to trade up to a 2005 GS500 but if the bike I've got my eye on sells or this one doesn't sell for the dollars I need, I'll quite happily keep this bike for another winter. (Gotta love heated hand-grips!).
