I have just put this on MCN site but not showing yet so thought I would mention it here too.
This bike has been my pride & joy for the last 3 years but since owning the Fazer I'm finding it a bit too "focused" for my needs. I will try to keep this as short as possible but there's a lot to tell about it.
I have receipts for engine work done by TTS in Silverstone for the sum of £2350.00! The work included new main bearing shells (bike had only done 10K at the time), bigger pistons, K&N filter, Dynojet kit, gas flowed head & 2 exhaust systems. The system fitted is an Akrapovic stainless 4-1 with a shortened carbon end can. I have dyno print out from TTS showing 135bhp at the wheel & 75ft-lbs of torque. It pulls fine at low revs but I would still describe the power delivery as being a bit "all or nothing" compared with the Fazer. The exhaust note needs to be heard in order to fully appreciate it.

Bike has now done 34K. It would appear that I have done roughly 8K of those. I have every previous mot certificate to back up mileage. Just put 12 months tax & mot on it last week. I was going to use this & the Fazer this year but can't justify the expense & time required to keep 2 bikes on the road so this one has to go. Not one for getting attached to bikes usually but this has been a really tough decision for me. :'(

It has a Veto + alarm/immobiliser fitted & I have 2 key fobs, both with new batteries. Other extras include crash bungs, carbon frame protectors (rare as hens teeth & probably more expensive!), tinted screen, braided brake hose front & rear, uprated fork springs & mini indicators with white lenses to match the bike. I have recently (last week) stripped, cleaned & balanced the carbs. The bike now runs better than it ever has since I have owned it. Oil & filter was changed last year, I have done less than 200 miles since. plugs were changed last week. Rear tyre has done about 1500 miles, chain & sprockets are like new. I also replaced the regulator/rectifier unit last year.
There are some very & I mean very minor marks to the bodywork here & there but generally I would describe it as being a very tidy bike, regardless of age. Castrol paint scheme gets plenty of attention out & about.

Front tyre tread is a bit low & brake fluid could do with being changed but that's all I can think of on the negative side.
If anyone is interested they can message me for my contact details on here please. I am in Redditch, Worcestershire. I have advertised it for £1850.00 so that's pretty much what I will take for it. Thanks for taking the time to read all of this. Sorry if it is a bit long winded.
