Well this was "chrome armchair" a lovely bike that I had for 3 years, but sore hands due to polishing it more than riding it meant it had to go :sad:
the last picture before she was sold. I must admit I miss her but she was a handful to ride!
To replace it I wanted something comfy, not so clean hungry, also shaft drive with weather protection. I looked around and after a lot of searching plumped for a new Honda 700 Deauville. ABS and combined braking system means it stops quick and safe, it's a very nice bike that is fun (honest) to ride enough poke from the lump to get me into trouble! but smooth. I have added lower engine guard, front fender extender, top box hand visors, extra running lights (like to be noticed by cars!!) brake light in topbox.
other than that she is standard!!
sadly I have no decent pictures of her yet but this is pretty much identical to mine in everyway
