Honestly yes I have to say that I do

1. Its lighter.
2. The engine pulls better and harder.
3. I like the seating position, its more sporty feeling than a Curvey, more weight on your wrists which I personally like.

Cool - food for thought when mine comes up for replacement if I cant think of anything else to buy! Weight on the wrists is not an issue for me as I ride a naked...

From the TC's and of my previous courtesy bikes, i think the excess is about £500. Since there is no fault with the bike, it looks like its down to you.

See if you can pick up a matching tank off eBay and sharpish!

Pointy better than curvy?

I hadn't rode the K5 for a few weeks and my first impression was it's bloody wristy! Certainly sporty but no that comfy for touring.
