picked up this little brute for a bit of winter fun

low miles, absolute mint and completely standard minus the tinted screen. truly awesome bike, pulls like a train in any gear and i was shocked at how well it handled for an old big bike, i lost the chicken strip just on the test ride

but there is no record of it having any suspension dohickery done to it. Theres one or to little problems i have with it like the ghey red screen that i dislike, found a very well hidden heated grip dial when i got it home but they don't work, its got a datatool rev light gauge that's mounted in a stupid place so that needs moving, its way way way to quiet for my liking and its got a god awful "fast bikes" tank pad

... got it home late yesterday afternoon in the ****ing rain, but thought bollox to it and went out in the rain........ anyway me likey

just wish it would stop fecking raining!!

Nice, I saw one almost identical to that in a dealer yesterday and thought to myself "winter hack" but I don't know alot about them and it only had a one month engine/gearbox warranty so didn't chance it

Nice bikes those, I prefer the looks of the EXUP that came before it but those are definitely the better bike.
