About 280 registered in UK apparently and half of those are still taxed too.
Not exactly a 'best seller' then. :D It was a pretty good bike tbh and did what it said on the tin (although, no doubt, some will argue with the 'S' part of the designation). It was comfortable enough for two up touring, took some proper luggage rather than stuff bungee'd on and went and handled OK if you wanted to be a bit sprightly on the commute. I think I surprised a few people as they came off a particular roundabout thinking they'd get set up for the overtake. :lol:
Low down pull, for low speed accelerating out of corners, is what the BMW twins are best at.
True, but these two roundabouts near Leatherhead (coming off the M25 from the west, down to one then a dual carriageway to the next), there'd frequently be some boyo on my tail into the first one and I'd gun it to the next and they'd appear in lane 2...going backwards. Hmmm. It was probably wet. :lol:

Take the bits you want and flog the rest to Motoworks! It's going to be a ball ache otherwise, for something you don't need.

Why break up a bike with only 10k on it? :eh:

I've just seen this listed on The Bike Bay!

EDIT:

No it's not, it's a very similar bike with loads more miles on it!
