She's well kitted out and in good nick by the looks of it! Very nice! And only 6.2K miles? Wow, that's less than 500 miles a year! I did 500 miles in a month! Make sure you get a good cover for it if you don't have a garage. If you do, lucky you!

Yeah someones spent some money on the extras, as well as the obvious sissybar, rack, screen & bags, its got Highway Hawk mirrors, brake resevoir cover, airbox cover, rear lamp cover, number plate surround and the bumper bar on the front mudguard.

Luckily I have a garage/car port so yeah its under cover, looking back at the paperwork some years it only did 30-50 miles, I have done over 300 miles since getting it at the end of August.

It's amazing to think, some people spend all that money on a new bike and accessories and then hardly do any riding! :eusa_think: Maybe when they get it brand new, they're afraid it'll get soiled! :biglaugha:

Its had 4 owners before me and from the paperwork its was one of them that put on about 4,500 miles the other 3 did bugger all, but thats my gain as I have a nice clean bike.

I have got this bike to ride but I also want to keep it as nice as I can, so am thinking about ACF50 for the winter as its still going to be used when I can, I have to use 4 wheels for work most of the week apart from Fridays, but come next spring things change.

There is no 'thinking about' ACF-50.... There is only 'must use' ACF-50!!

Unless you're a fan of Scottoiler 365, in which case...

Good looking machine that! (Although I might be a little biased there..........you didn't buy it off me did you????? LOL!)

Ttaskmaster is of course correct (isn't he always!) when he states the ACF50 stuff being a must, I carry a rag (yellow duster type) in the panniers, soaked in the stuff and wipe the bike down at every opportunity.
