It was a 2008 K8 that had been left for standing (garaged) for 5 years due to previous owners ill health and was going to be scrapped when he sadly passed so I rescued it and took a chance on it, only managed to put just over 400 miles on it before it was stolen [emoji2959] having just checked the dash to see how much it may have been used by the scumbags miles is only 4245 from new.
It certainly did put a massive grin on my face and was a big step up from the SV, handling was good and that was without any attempt to adjust or set it up for me personally and the brakes were a huge improvement. Really enjoyed riding it and one of the few rides I did was over Cat & Fiddle to see Baz at his local bike night as a surprise before he knew I had it sorted and on the road. Baz took it for a bit a run and was also suitably impressed. Dont know how it compares to more modern variants but hopefully will be sorted and all on for the next BPW [emoji1696]
This winter was supposed to be braided lines and rebuilding front calipers on the SV and having a full service done by local specialist but that's now looking like it's going to have to wait.
