Yes, well dodgy!

We asked the crew who owned/was chartering it but they wouldn’t say.

All current RE’s aren’t complex and most things can be serviced at home. If you are competent, follow the table in the service manual & check YouTube for tips

If you want a cast iron warranty/not sure as a mech, get it done at the dealer.

I had mine dealer serviced during warranty and DIY it now.

It’s a fantastic city, gritty, edgy, friendly but with real soul and a sense of history/civilisation at every corner.

That “Premium aura” is paper thin and, in my experience, undeserved.

BMW R1150R was the most unreliable bike I’ve ever owned, Suzuki 1200 Bandit the most reliable.

Ditto an Audi A4 Avant I owned v a number of Mazda’s, Nissans and Kia’s.

Quality =fitness for purpose.

Some may already be aware of this but worth repeating, BEWARE FAKE NGK PLUGS.
There are quite a lot of false ones many marked as from Thailand not Japan, although some are even marked Japan but are not genuine. www.ngkntk.com/newsroom/fea...

I do.

Eventually replaced it with a 1200 Bandit. A wonderfully mad bike.
