Lets look at the clues...

It's not the latest greatest sports bike cos it's not got the fancy Monoblocs.
It's got braided hoses, so it's not Japanese (?)
They don't look like KTM fork lowers (?)
It's got cast wheels, that look like they might be 17's

The maintenance on my bike is because it's an unrestored 1986 bike, so there are always little things going wrong, the engine has been rebuilt so that's ok but everything else is 36yrs old. All my old bikes are the same, the engines are bulletproof but there is always something that needs repairing or replacing on the rest of the bike.
I still think of 1986 as fairly recent. :lol:

36 years ago. Fuck my old boots. :shock:
