I must say that the bike is very tidy. A testament to it's owner. I wonder what mine will look like after 10 years.
How many miles did you manage to put on the bike?
Ten years on

Lovely, well looked after bike mind.

But sadly zero points for the observation - no centre stand in any of the pictures........
The centre stand is in a box in the garage along with the original cat and tail pipes all unused. The bike was delivered with the laser system dealer fitted so the other bits came in a box and have never seen the light of day since.
tanneman, thanks for the comment.
It has done 30150 miles, a respectable but not huge mileage. I have never been forced to use it for commuting in foul weather but most of the useage has been two up and or abroad with a fair bit of bad weather and incidents along the way.

Still a damn fine example of the S but engine oil level a teensy bit lower?

I run mine on good semi-synthetic, and nearer the bottom of the oil window (hot after a wait) than up to the half-way mark, as the oil usage seems to be markedly less.

Thread hijack alert!
Would ask about the exhaust too if I hadn't bought one recently
OK, hijack over!
Don't suppose your looking to sell the centre stand, are you? If you haven't used it in 10 years there's probably a good chance you never will.....GRAgusta wrote:The centre stand is in a box in the garage....
