The wife just came in after she'd had a filling at the Dentist. Fortunately, her discomfort/mood was offset as the tiler finished the new kitchen today, so I let her ooh and ahh at that first then casually dropped the new bike bomb! :D She said I didn't realise you'd sold the others! :roll: Picking it up Sunday as it supposed to be pissing down Saturday and I like the first ride on anything new to be in the dry if possible.

Pick up confirmed for Sunday at midday. The bike is in Maldon, which is on my local loop! So it'll be great to take the familiar route home and get used to the bike. :thumbup:

I haven't got it yet, pick it up tomorrow. Cheaper to insure than the Tmax! :wtf:

The bike has been very well looked after and never ridden in wet weather.

As per the pictures, the bike is fitted with Data tool alarm, Oxford heated grips, Tall screen, Data Tag, fender extenders, R&G crash protection, including spindle bobbins, Belly pan, Exhaust protector, Tank decals, Rims decals, Radiator guard, Pillion seat cowl plus pillion seat.

The bike comes with all its paperwork, new battery, three keys and two alarm fobs.

If you're looking for an MT-07, this is the one, you will not be dissapointed !

Tmax is parked up until I can (be arsed to) get to it. NCX is up for sale with a fair bit of interest, but its not exactly the best month to sell a bike, so I'm not too fussed if I have to wait until March/spring etc. But if I don't get on with the MT it'll go and I'll stick with the NCX

Please please, just for me. Get rid of that gash exhaust guard!

I fact, sell the guard, the belly pan and the seat cowl and spend the proceeds on a loud pipe.
