Looking very sharp mate.

The only thing I dont get is they made the engine silver while on the older models it wasblack... they almost swapped the frame colour with the engine...bit different.

Still looks good :thumbsup:

I agree with ophic.
What size tyres do the K5s have? I was looking at an K3 SV1000S at the dealership and it had Michelin Pilot Sports. I believe they were 180.

I thought about having my frame and rims powdercoated black. Then, I realised I wouldn't have anything to ride while my bike was apart. I think I'll just buy a 0 miles K5 next year.

Thank for the good replys i am happy with the bike now
the baffle is stopping in for a bit as it sounds good at the moment, (my mom was around the neighbours house 2 doors away and i started it up and gave it a bit of a rev and when she came back she said i could here it inside the house)
Hall its a fabbri screen and it does make quite a difference
xaun the tyres is a 160
uncle pete i only did it about 3 days ago :oops:

Very nice bike! What kind of price was the Remus exhaust? I'm looking at the same bike except not with fairing and like the Remus exhaust. Also is there any files where the exhaust can be heard :?

Many Thanks

1. Wow! the black knight DOES ride again!
2. An aftermarket muffler after only a month - Does this affect warranty?
3. Are all suburban garden fences in the UK made of the same timber?

well the can was ordered at the same time as the bike and the dealer did'nt say anything so i would say no, the can would have been on from day one if they had it in stock the std sounded like a sewing machine
