The paintwork (except for the scrape on the fairing) was excellent. There was a nick in the powder coating on one wheel, and on the swing arm, both stone chips, but it did do a lot of miles in a short space of time.

It went to France 2 (or was it 3?) times, did a week touring, did a few long weekends and a lot of Sunday rides. Commuted 20 miles each way most days through London and along the M4, come rain or shine.

The only bolts that furred up were the ones on the crappy hugger fixings (not Suzuki). So I would say that there's not much up with the build quality. The bike now belongs to another user of the site, and it's still going strong.

Where can i get one for around this price? I've been looking around and so far £5699 is the cheapest I have seen (which is pretty good!).
