Default Just couldn't resist it

About a month ago found a bike on gumtree that I just fell for instantly, its been a rough road to getting it, but in the end I picked it up yesterday morning. Couldn't be happier

That is very nice! How do you find it compared to an Sv for size and comfort?

I thought it'd be worse, but tbh I've found the comfort of the seat to be better, the bars arn't at a bad angle so its not uncomfortable. I'm definitely enjoying it so far, havn't done much milage yet but next week should be doing a 600/800 odd weekend tour of Ireland so I think I'll have better answers then for you

Sounds good so far. I hope to make the move from the sv to a k5 600 next year. Are you taking in kerry on your tour?

Think I'm missing the Kerry leg of the short weekend, the rest of the guys are going from the friday night to the sunday night, but I can only head down after work on the saturday evening, so I've about 400 miles to ride by myself that evening to catch up, can't miss out now can I haha. Thanks dawn07, will do, you too, is that a k3?
