General Comments

Mine is 2002 model purchased 2nd hand in 2003. It feels safe and rock solid, I think everyone should have one. Fantastic grin factor with most surprising performance. The most miles covered in a day is 625, we were tired but safe. We can carry enough stuff for a 2 week holiday around Europe without using a trailer. I am only allowed to go up to 85/90 with my better half on board but that is comfortable and eats up the miles without effort. I have yet to find a hotel that is not willing to give it a secure parking place once they clap eyes on it. Everyone feels very protective and friendly towards it. Having said that I have yet so see a better looking example. I have also found that the dealers haven't got a clue when it comes to servicing. They always leave bits off or incorrectly reassemble parts. My front fork seals kept leaking they tried to put this right 4 times. I ended doing it myself only to find a blemish in the fork shaft which I was able to polish out.
It's best bike I have ever owned. I am always looking for excuses to get out on it.

As I am unlikely to wear it out and the model hasn't changed really, I cannot see the point of purchasing a new one other than it would be new and cost me an extra 10K
