didn't want a green one...
















































ended up with a green one. Its spanking. Had R&Gs already installed, all maintenance stuff done 100 miles back so all ready to ride. Went to put a deposit down on Saturday and ended up riding it home. It's already had a tail tidy and suspension played with, K&N, seat cowl and other bits i've forgotten already.

I've already ordered a clear double bubble (the standard screen is poop, didn't fancy a smoked one, had one on my last bike and didn't like the visiability)

Tail light with inbuilt indicators to bin the standard ones off

Smoked front repeaters (orange and green meh)

Stubby levers (originals are huge)

More to come as per....

i've nipped the fairings off to check behind, no cruddy connections on the lights or anything. may well have been ridden only in the dry as the previous owner told me, so far so good

Is that the Carbon? It looks fantastic. I just had a look at the specs and what I found more impressive than the bhp/torque was the size of the rear tyre
