Well, the reshuffle in my garage continues - both BMWs gone after 5 years of ownership and the second replacement (to add to my new Street Triple R) has arrived.
Here she is - 10 years old and 35k miles with a full service history and at a really good price. There were so many to choose from and it was a real buyer's market. A few good extras already on; bar risers, bike-quip screen, heated grips, comfort seats, wind deflectors and a topbox with rack, power and high-level brake light. It also came with a new MOT and a brand new pair of PR4GTs.
I was looking for a really good all-year ride and an option to munch a few miles and something I'd enjoy maintaining myself. The Haynes online manual is excellent and I've already had a good look around and replaced a couple of exhaust clamps and sorted a bit of a sticky centre-stand and some flimsy d i y additional power leads.
I've put 500 miles on her so far and am very pleased with how she handles - more like a middleweight despite her bulk and is sooooooo comfortable. I've taken my time to get used to moving her around and have a spinner to turn her round in my generous double garage so no 7 point turns in the drive!
I know there are a few Pan fans, owners and ex-owners on here so happy to hear any pearls of wisdom
