hmmm, that's a pretty interesting bike! a whole lot of muffler for a single not used to looking at bikes of that sorta price range, (too pricy for me to test ride it ) but could have a gander and make sure it all looks tickety boo

They fly. If he or she is looking to adventurise this, it would be costly....
If they want to leave 'rubber' on the road and use up heaps of carbon, continually be at BP, Shell or others eating pies whilst filling the miniscule tank, then this is the bike.......
They are nice machines....
Parts, service however.......
Be prepared for a quick phone call and a longer wait, so be prepared, oreder 6 weeks out and you will be fine.....

Bogan, it is worth it mate.....Have some fun around those roads for a few minutes.....
Smile on the dial...

Evening again gents, ok, the dudes boss is coming down Saturday and is happy to bring it down with him so that is a plus, down side is it will have to be looked at latest by Friday.

Dudes name and addy is... PM me for his details so it is not public.


Text and he will call back, Best time 12.30 pm to 1pm

Or after 4pm

No pressure here lads, just if someone is available that can start it, kick the tyres and spot any obvious wrongdoings.

Info we would be looking for is
Tyre wear
Chain and sprockets
Dings, knock and gouges
Rims run true etc
Easy to start, no smoke of start up.

Just the obvious shit you would do when looking at a bike.

Many thanks.

Can't help, but Devil (Matt) used to have one, it may be worth a PM to get a heads up on what is good and bad about them.

New tyre in 2900km. What do the tard boys do to these things. That makes the 950 Adv look like a pussy.

Helping fend off the recession by wrecking tyres and paying the motorcycle industry!!

I can probably (weather permitting) take a look (and a thrash if his insurance cover me ) if nobody more familiar with em wants to, I owned a few road bikes, and a few dirt bikes, but never one that is half and half!
