Sounds might strange to me - and I was going to drop in on him to see what those CF side-panels look like in the flesh too.

I threatened him with death if he didnt sell it to me, simple really.
You'll have to ask Andrew why he sold it, but I think he prefferred the RT

...no, no, no...it has nothing to do with age...
...I'm a youngster myself ; and love the RT...
...did double the miles on the RT, than on the S last year...
...think that says (more than) enough...
...my next 'project' : a 1200RT...
Have a nice day !

As some of you know Andrew is in Spain on the RT at the moment, so you'll have to wait for the official version. Any bets on what comes next?
Cheers

Just got back from the first "bedding in" session and had a bit of a fiddle etc. Bike is very tight and initially was very hesitant from 4 to 6k, but thats sorted now hehe.
Fresh super in it and a few revs seems to have picked it up a bit.
Ive change teh appearance a little too

Very nice PB.
I know there is a trend for putting black baglux on black bikes (I nearly got one for the black XJR) but I'm just not cool with the shape of the baglux cover - doesn't look right with it being half way down the fairing like that.
V. nice bike anyway.
