Well thanks for your opinions guys and you will be pleased that Im going to keep it and build a mild steel rear subframe for it so that I know it will take luggage and also that I know it can be repaired anywhere I go.
I like having a project and this bike has had everything that needs doing to it to compete in rallies and win them, well ok came third but that will do me. Looking to competing again in the Gib Rally again next year but they have changed the rules that the bikes published weight needs to be 140kgs at least so looks like a 790 will be joining the 525, 1290 and the K1300 in the garage.
On the look out for another IMO if anyone has one that there selling but apart from that the bike is so well sorted that it doesnt need anything.
Will be back in UK next week and will be out riding the trails and Thetford again getting ready for next years rallies, anyone fancy going along?
And I wont be gifting to anyone so unlucky guys but good try
