New Wheels.
Necessity dictated the need, so I'm now the owner of a 2009 Versys; picked up this morning, good example and a great deal, has a rather roar JCE titanium stubby can fitted; which makes a very acceptable noise, has the tourer additions (adjustable screen & panniers/ handguards), done a 150 miles on it and as expected very comfy.
Here's a few of pics. And of course it had to be christened.... Cheers Mark.

Re: New Wheels.
apart from a few basic things needed, no plans for extensive mods, already changed the mirrors for the ones I like,so only short levers, power sockets to run phone and Sat nav and extra running lights is about all really, I wasn't sold on the colour, but in real life it's more a charcoal grey than silver and it's growing on me,fresh 15k service just done (although it's not quite there yet); even got a full tank of Juice, so ready to go; just needs miles now.

Re: New Wheels.
I'm sure it'll make more than a few visits to Soho Saeed, perfectly happy to let you have a go mate.

Re: New Wheels.
were they the only source then I'd have paid a fair bit more for mine, fortunately they are not, although I did still retaining a dealer warrenty of sorts.
