Same here, I didn't realise the Op was selling it or I would have kept my face shut.
Why keep your face shut? Just cos an addy in here has one for sale your opinion and/or experience of owning one is still valid.
I doubt BB likes arse kisses anyway :rolleyes

Billy is actually right. I did say these are cracking commuter bikes and tourers. I liked my previous one because as a commuter it needs to be consistent, reliable, comfortable and with no vices. I can't do 100 miles a day on say an MV or a raw racer - I NEED what may be termed as dull and reliable. Commuting is all about getting there "full stop"!! You get your kicks on the weekends.
My 2nd commuter was a 650 Bandit - dull but reliable. My weekend fun was my Fazer which I had to sell during a lean time to fund recent Wembley play off final day treat for my son. A recent change of fortune (apart from the accident) means I can now look to find another Fazer.
Every bike has it's place, and role to play - fact.
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
