Title: New Bike
Post by: Sean T'sheep on Wednesday, 04 October 2017, 11:45 PM
Well after 10 years and 118,000 miles, my K3, is going to a new home and I have taken delivery of a K5 with a mere 55,000 miles on it. Time to get riding me thinks

What a gorgeous bike..
And what great taste you have in the colour of the beast..

I bought mine really because its a bit different to most of the 14's I see around..
Well done you..
I am in Lancashire so we are almost neighbors  :grin:

Good Grief Sean - only 118,00 miles, just run in!

New one very nice, only 63,000 miles to catch up with your K3 then!

Must have taken you a while to decide what type of bike to replace your trusty 1400 with seeing as there are so many different models out there now.

Nice choice  :clapping:

That's making me think I should do my crusty fork sliders in black. Looks nice.

I'm looking around thinking of what bike to get next.
Hopefully late next year, something nice.

Although not top of my list I will admit another 14 is up there.
There's still a few Special Editions (the TRUE Final Edition) bikes
that are very low K's and getting pampered lives around.

Well done on the new colour choice. Red and Black is the new Blue and White.
Give it a couple of years and Red and Black will be the fastest colour  :whistling:

I'll  change the bodywork from my blue/white to the red/black and vice verse  then will have the fastest red/black 14 on the planet

I like the nose fairing. Any idea what make it is?

Yes it is Givi and about 10 years old. Discontinued a while ago though they do do one similar again now so might be worth a look

I see you didnt keep your custom seat Sean. It looked like it should have been pretty comfortable ?
