Tube us good for th...

No.

On the off chance full face lids were better I bought one, it’s no better.
So either I youthify the old neck or I fit some He Hebos.

I went to one owners club meeting to collect something and I was probably 20 years younger than anyone there.

I have never bought because of colour, always bought what was local and the right price.
But now I find myself offered metallic blue and yellow bikes tat are OK, but I dont like the colour!
I would prefer a black bike.
Thoughts?

Any pictures from further back, so I can get a better idea of how much the fairing was trimmed? And maybe a photos with the forks on the lock stops. I am looking for a bike to buy and one nice looker has had the faring behind the mirrors cut away. It looks like its got stock bars. Emails were answer...
