This bike is in excellent condition, and comes with a lot of upgrades and extra's, below are what come to mind. The bike has 68 500km on and my asking price is R58 000. I realise this is on the high side for these bikes, but I hope on seeing the condition and noting all the extra's and upgrades it would be seen to be good value for a great bike.
Some of the upgrades made to the bike are as follows;
- Stainless steel braided brake hoses to the front brakes give great stopping power - much better than the standard ones
- Front wheel upgraded to an Excel rim and stainless steel spokes (standard are steel and usually corroded)
- Electronic Ambient air (outside) temperature gauge
- 12v Power point for charger, GPS or other accessories
- Wide front foot rests - much easier on the feet if standing while riding
- Side pannier brackets with aluminium panniers, gives great luggage carrying potential
- The seat has been re-done with extra padding (as standard the seat is quite hard)
- Large capacity fuel tank by Touratech, gives a range of around 650 / 700km (the original fuel tank is in excellent condition and is included)
- Upgraded front suspension to cope with the extra weight when the fuel tank is full (standard fork springs are included)
- Wrap around hand guards give better than standard hand protection
- Electronic trip computer is upgraded to also show the speed digitally, this is in addition (not in place of) the standard trip meters, timer and clock.
- High level mudguard fitted (standard low level mudguard is in excellent condition and is included)
- Electronic copy of the Haynes Workshop manual
- High level windscreen gives excellent wind protection
- LED spotlights improving the lighting and visibility
- Swivel type handle bar raisers (they probably have a better reference name - sorry I don't know it)
- Centre stand fitted (this is an optional extra, not standard on the bike)
Also to be considered;
- The front and rear brake discs were recently replaced with new
- It has new O-Ring chain, front and rear sprockets
- Headlights upgraded to new generation LED, providing excellent lighting
- All service items either in excellent condition or recently done (filters, bearings, seals, brake pads etc)
