Brand new, maybe? Looks v v clean.
That top pic looks like a factory, and there are some other BMW(?) bikes in the background.

Sorry I should have explained more, but i was on rushing out.
The crate picture was sent to me by the dealer when it was delivered and the other was the day i bought it home.

I like to take a before and after picture, after being when it has dirt in the nooks and crannies that'll not go.

It is one of those bikes that looks better in the crate. Especially with all the cardboard on. ;)

No it's the same bike i bought in 2014, I thought i would make a start on posting pictures of my bikes.
Couple of thousand??? Haven't reach 2,000 yet. With a combination of crap weather and busy weekends I haven't had time to get out on it.

Look forward to seeing you around the winding roads of West Sussex...

I'll let you know when I'm travelling through, black leathers boots gloves helmet and bike. Oh and a pair of Zaphods sunglasses that turn completely black when they sense danger so you don't get frightened because you cant see it.... 8)
