Thanks All ye gonni enjoy..she is  absolutely 1st class in every way and original ...not doing TOO much .. fitting rear hugger pearl blue ..front fender extender...
Oil cooler cover all these to protect any crud getting on her  where ever possible and the creme  d la creme for the noise fitting  a set of campbell sidewinders I had these o  my other k2 years ago IMHO they  are the best looking and sounding pipes to fit to the beast  not cheap I no but worth it they are awesome. Thanks again for your comments I'm one lucky boy well man 57 actually  :devil: :boogie:

Wow! I thought my Blue and White K2 was in amazing condition with 9,901 miles on it and would be hard to beat. I guessed a few would be as good but doubted any would be better without having been professionally restored. However with the ultra low miles, that bike looks like it's just come off the production line, you are a very lucky guy to find that. Only problem for you now is do you ride it or wrap it up in cotton wool?

Enjoy😍

I clean and polish my girl after ever time I take her out Ken. A huge part of the pleasure of owning a bike in my opinion is the upkeep. Here's mine with a few up close pictures of her engine and front fork lowers. Nothing polished or restored and totally original. Can't show the rear brake disc as I am ashamed of it in comparison to yours. Unlike yours it has actually been used and does have some marks on it🤣😂🤣

Sounds like there's a few on here looking to take @gsxbarmy 's polishing/clean freak crown.
of course he can't do that as much now he has a pretend bike and not a GSX1400.

Hahaha - looking at the list and racks of polishing stuff shown, they've a long long way to go to catch up. Just because I haven't got a GSX1400 doesn't mean I've ever stopped polishing stuff. Now I do it for others as well as myself.

 :lol: :clapping:was thinking the exact same @Hooli, bit worried @gsxbarmy was "doing it for others as well"

Each to their own I guess....
