Well I made it home successfully with my new bike!
Brand new tyres (Michelin Pilot Roads still with the chicken strips down the middle!), new rear brake pads and loads of life left on the other consumables.
It even comes with heated grips!
The only bad thing is that if you hold it at 7k revs and then roll the throttle on it doesn't seem to like it, hesitating (and sometimes the revs drop to 6k) before it takes off. Once it does go it moves like a scalded cat! Hopefully nothing a good service won't fix.
It was originally gold but the previous owner had it resprayed white and it's a really good job. Looking at the bar ends and the brake lever it's been down the road but it rides straight. I had a bike that went round right handers like a GP bike and left handers like a shopping trolley so I know what I'm looking for!
