Terrific bikes and my only regret is you have bought it,not me. I have had my 108bhp for nine years and over 50K on it .What year and is it the 108 or the 118bhp engine? Never had a more do everything bike that is so cumfy and 500mile stints are effortless.Cruising at 70-80mph I get 230miles before the light which equates to 58-60mpg simple because you do not need to go above 5000rpm to be quick but once you hit 6000rpm it is a very different animal in the last 3500rpm
Please let me know how it performs with the Maxis on it as I have had various tyre brands but always end up returning to Mich Pilot Road as the give good mileage and perform well in all conditions.

Enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine and it is amazing how much you get in the luggage.

P.S. Get the headlights changed to twins,simple relay and bulb change and the lights are 100%better
