The only change I'll be making is to put the original bars back on. Otherwise Rob is very happy :D

Ooo nice carbony shiny bits :D Looks beautiful.

 

Thanks! Perfect for a trip to the Eifel :wink: The carbon parts are tastefully done and the previous owner has removed the baboon's arse rear light and replaced it with a K1300S item that looks so much better.

Very nice, carbon makes it look very sophisticated.


It's a bike i could see myself riding when i grow out of sportsbikes and need something more comfy to eat the miles.

Which is exactly what I wanted mate. I've had GSXR's x2, ZX9R and Fireblades x2. At 47, it's time to experience some luxury instead of knackered wrists.

That looks brand new mate, I like it a lot [emoji2]

 

It's a beaut mate, a proper find. The owner has treated it to everything with no expense spared. I'm lucky to have got such a fine example.

So how does it compare to the sports bikes?

Plenty of torque I should imagine

That's the difference. Pulls from nothing. The gear change is smooth and no issues with the shaft drive , all seems well. It's very stable at speed.
