Cheers Ric, I'm happy too. I think he'll be a lot safer on that than some street racer.
I'm surprised at the performance figures, 65Kw and 86Nm which are the same as my 86 K100rs.
The K800 was 83Kw and 83Nm but torque always wins
It has a whopping 12.5:1 compression which means premium fuel.
This one has pannier racks and the yet to be bought panniers expand from 17L to 25L somehow. They are almost a grand.
It's 2 months old so has 2months less than 2 years warranty and that includes roadside assist.
He'll have it paid off in 3 years. Perfect.

[edit]
I can't get that K1300R I saw down there out of my head. The front end is something out of a scifi flick yet hidden behind a fairing. $27,000 2nd hand.
