I see its purchased from GH Motorcycles, which is disappointing.

When I open my motorcycle shop I'm going to have to call it GMH Motorcycles instead.

Lovely!

Got a mate here that has one of those and he loves it. Although he now feels that it's a bit too tall for him cos he dropped in a situation that he needed to be taller to save it! LOL

But -

with that list of extras, you shouldn't need to change/buy much for it? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

They seem popular for electrical upgrades on the American forums.

Good call.
If I ever have a new bike, those are right up there. I don't particularly like how they look, but everyone I've ever seen on them is having a blast.

It really does. All roads (for me) lead here, but I kinda resisted as I dislike the odd wheel sizes. But Couchy raved about them, and he knows his way round a bike better than I do, so i took a another look and watched some YT reviews and everything was positive and no one else seemed to have my concerns, so I decided to pursue it.

Where it goes from here, who knows, but it should fit the bill, or at least I hope so, because I relly dont think there is anything else out there for me? Hoping to collect it this friday, but its not an easy place to get for me and of course all the people i regularly help out have something on... :roll:
