Very much in two minds about this, but all good things need to come to an end and the lure of new pastures is strong in me.
2008 X-Challenge
29,000kms (30,000 kms major service done, new wheel bearings etc.)
Touratech fairing and tank (27l total - range 500+km - I've seen 700 when tootling along)
HID headlights
Wilbers progressive springs and front end overhaul by Martin Paetzold
Alloy bashplate
Custom luggage rack
2-stage Unifilter foam air filter
Wild at heart bar raisers (not the Rox raisers on the pix - I'm keeping those) and brake/gear levers
Leo Vince pipe
Custom rebuilt seat for long distance comfort
Plumbed in hella (for GPS) and cigarette lighter power
TKC front/Mitas E07 back
Various Hyde guards
A face any parent would love:
I've had the bike four wonderful years. It's a unique thing, and pretty far removed from the original bike - more relaxed and comfortable than the 690, lighter and much more capable offroad than the Dakar, Tenere, F800 or other options. I'd say it's best as a long distance rough road tourer.
It's super economical (generally 3.5-4l/100km) and is happy sitting at 140 on the highway, but the rougher the road, the better this thing is. This bike has been well looked after - and is in great condition. There are one or two scrapes from some small spills on the tank, but it's polyprop and designed to take a beating, so there was no point in putting crash bars on.
Selling it gives me the heebie-jeebies but I think it's time for something new, yeah.
