If you loose the radiator plastic and the hoooge can,I think the stock looks better than those two above,especially in the white.

I'll ride it for a while before I change anything, but if I change the can it'll have to be for something that isn't too loud.

Just looking at the differences between the plus (the one I'm getting) and the normal, the radiator grill on the plus model has an RRP of £678 and a note on the diagram saying "If the customer asks this is the correct price"

My bro had that model for two years from new, only recently swapped it for a gsxs1000. They’re a lovely bike 👍

I'm picking up my Honda on Friday 8th September, I could have had it Wednesday but I'm required at work, and as work pays for motorcycles I have to be there.

I just had another look at one in a main dealer today - it was the only bike they had that I'd want to get (apart from some nice stuff from other marques in the used stock...).
