if I do get a big bird, i'd look for one similar to yours, early carbed model and black on black, and is your exhaust a 4 into 1 ????

Why an early carbed one ?, cheaper ?, there's nothing wrong with the FI bikes

Not after the "fix" has been done to the loom and a pc3 power commander has been fitted and set up .
But there still slower than the carb bike and has worse mpg

Gave the best bike on the forum* a quick polish and stuck it through the MoT. Not even an advisory so another years wobbling around is on the cards :thumbup:

Took her for a 400Klm ride with the new T30 tyres.

Well happy, very stable and comfortable ride.

Hope they wear well.

First for me, never had a bike with Bridgestone tyres.
