Missing the v twin thing so when I recently needed a cheap winter hack to save the r1 from salt I went looking for a cheap v twin with low maintenance costs...

I found this...

shaft drive aren't they? IIRC an interesting arrangement on the pipes?

it's not quite as clean as it looks in that photo but not bad. 22k miles was the main selling point along with the shaft drive as salt kills a chain and sprockets every winter no matter what I seem to do.
Pipes look ok to me although have a slight dent from what appears to have been a minor drop...

That is not my caravan either. This is our little campervan. It's a Mazda Bongo and we love it to bits!!!

Is she going to audition for the new version of 101 Dalmations???

Nice commuter bike BTW and always useful to go working as a courier when our great economy collapses next week.
