Gawd (y)- who would buy that?

[Pete]

Well I gotta pay for it but it is now my 2nd R3R.
I do though, have a couple of complete sets of Phantom Black tins, radiator shrouds and Corbin Solo seats, real flyscreeens, Rebrand/CES exhaust etc to tone it down a little!

I do not mind the flames too much, but the spiky leather sh!t has to go.

The thought was with 27,000km vs my current R3R's 73,000km I can move one on if I feel the need.

Congrats Peter
It does have a sort of Joie de Vivre, neat but Gordy!!! Bit like a bulls arse sewn up with a bicycle chain

MMMMMMMmmmm.. Jealous! Would have suited me sooo well for my Saturday night outings

Would’ve thought the Rocket exhaust was far too hot with just them chaps on Grumpy

Gee Pete
Hope you haven’t pulled the trigger too early on this beauty given that everyone reckons there’s a 3L 6speed Rocket about to be announced in October.

If it is a R3 Classic then why did he (or she) take the floorboards off and put pegs on?

It is not a Classic but actually a Roadster with ABS etc that came out here in 2010. I think the Roadster only arrived in the US in 2011.

Nah! Even if it ever happens, I'm a firm believer in letting someone else soak up the 50% + depreciation in the first few years and sort out any warranty or 'Monday made' assembly issues.

Being 1100+ km away from me, before the auction closed I luckily and most gratefully requested and received the willing assistance of @Mittzy to pick it up and store it at home for me until I get the opportunity to get it down here.

The RDU next month will get me half way there and if I pick up an old mate along the way near Coffs Harbour and he can possibly ride it home for me.

No pain, no gain as they say!!

Well done. Glad to now somebody local-ish could see it was solid and just aesthetically odd.

That's terrible! I believe they just sat around and made their bike look ugly instead of riding it.

wouldn't have it for a wart on my old fella!!

You mean you would not have it for the removal of the wart on your old fella
