Thanks all,

The bike is a 2001 in Silver. It has only done 1400 miles since new so basically it is still not run in. I hope it can put up with some abuse! :twisted: It has a Datatool System 3 Alarm and Immobilisor so should also stay in my possesion :D

Anyway i have no doubt i will be around asking lots of questions.
