Old faithful...
I've had my grey 650 since new (2001) - added some titanium cans, a belly pan, fly screen, carbon mudguard and carbon tank/key panel thingy - all done years ago and never got round to the carbon side panels. I even got the Raptor trilogy symbol tattooed on my back! Having two kids in the past 6 years has seriously dented the miles tally, but I'm not selling it, will always keep it and hopefully am going to spend a bit of money over the winter getting the paintwork and engine lacquer tidied up. Not that I have any time to do it myself. Attached is a photo taken about a month ago when my partner and I got a rare weekend away to Scotland. We were staying in Aviemore and Dunblane but managed to do 750 miles in 3 days via Inverness and Skye (well, you can't go to Scotland and not do the A82 and A87!!). Hopefully many more trips in years to come...

Lovely that was what I was looking for when I started Raptor shopping
I've yet to get the key cover-y bit, that's next on my list

Re: Old faithful...
Thanks. The rear footrest hangers are losing their paint & the engine lacquer is the worst. Maybe its more preservation than anything else! I'm not a polisher - not enough time in my life for chrome... It has only done about 17k miles which is disgraceful in 11 years... I need to get out more!
