been thinking of a Pan myself, what reg/mileage is yours and what did you pay if you don't mind me asking?
Is it just the collecting box that still needs an eye out when buying?
Not going to leave, just be visiting now and again lol
Things I was told to look out for...
Collector box
Stainless exhausts
Stainless downpipes
Swing arm
Alternator
Radiator
The bike I picked up is on a T plate with only 46,500 miles but 11 previous owners which I didn't know till I got there, but on the plus side had the seat lowered for my short arse syndrome, also had two usb sockets and a cigarette lighter size socket in the left hand glove box. The lights are better than the fazer but only just, but being 2 H4's there's sufficient light but mines has been upgraded to orsam nightbreakers or similar as definitely better than standard.
The 450miles I done on it so far were very comfortable, and not stressing my carpal tunnel syndrome, so I'm really looking forward to trying it out on a good days run without the extra load and the wild winds I endured on it's maiden voyage lol
