Its a GSXR 750 Slingshot.
Just apply to the DVLA for a new log book.
Do nothing to it until you have a V5 in the new owners name.

When everything is going right, its a pleasure.
Once you get a few bad apples or politics rears its ugly head, its another story
After nearly 10 years it got too much.....Rallies to organise, membership, merchandise, power happy mods and to top it all, I dont like playing post police.

I was in the gobi in 2006, travelling in 4WD though, would love to go back by bike...
It was challenging, if not a bit desolate...
Ive hardly travelled through the UK, everywhere feels like home and I like to feel 'out there'...

This is a handy site Ive used for the passes
They list all of the passes, opening times, tolls and they rate the rides with gold, silver and bronze routes, all for bikers.

I probably should have put this post in your touring thread

Im the same, I have really bad hyperhydrosis and I suffer in far away places but Im 'living the dream' while my spine lets me. Chronic degenerative disc disease and many spinal operations later has made me re-assess my priorities and pushed me into getting stuck into my 'bucket list'
Arctic circle in 2015 and South America in 2016 and the list is mostly complete
