Yes, still got all the standard parts bar the shock but can source one of them very cheaply if needed and if I were to PX it, that would be the road I took ...However, let's not take it away from the gen 1, it's a fantastic do-it-all bike but by all accounts, it appears the MT10 is going to be also with the touring add-ons. I've always said I can't see the point in having two bikes that do similar things as the danger is you would favour one and the other would get neglected. I've become emotionally attached to my gen 1 and in the position where it's worth more to me than it's monetary value.
At 13 years old mine only averages out at 4460 miles a year so like yours, not what you would consider higher than average miles, it's been used.
I don't NEED to sell it, just don't want it to sit there unused and forgotten and given the two sitting side by side together, what would you choose to jump on. ?
The only way to describe that MT10 test ride Mel, was that it felt like a supermoto on steroids only it wasn't vibey and didn't run out of puff on the straights.
How many bikes have you ridden that can power wheelie in 3rd and take you through the ton on the back wheel ? Totally irresponsible I know and extremely knobbish but that kinda suits me.
