Very nice Ian - I am sure it will serve you well

was looking at one of those in Kawasaki Newcastle yesterday... I find myself strangely attracted to them...
hope you get on well together :0)

Fantastic bike - congratulations Ian!

I really like these bikes, can you keep a running update on ownership? I'd be interested to see how the build quality holds up, I know lozzo has been less than impressed with some parts on his versys, although he is overal delighted with the machine

Nice one Ian, hope you have some serious fun on it - should have got a black one though

.

Yes, I am a touch unimpressed with the finish on some of my bike's chassis parts, but overall I think it's a great bike that I would have trouble replacing if anything happened to it. I'd probably buy another and kit it out the same as the one I have.
