Mauritian Creole-speaking 14'

[Latetsorpa]

Hey there folks!

First of all, thanks Mike for approving my candidature!
I'm Sebastien from this Island of Mauritius and a happy owner of the big Suzi. Been dreaming of owning one for a decade and finally got my hands on her, which is quite rare since only 12 of them were sold in Mauritius. The bike actually suffered from spending more time sitting on her stand than being ridden (Slight corrosion and usual ageing Suzuki stuff).

I've got a K5 acquired on 25th September 2018 with 21,777 kms on the odo (sorry friends, you're gonna have to bear with metric system here), which I believe are true since the rear Bridgestone BATTLAX was dating from... 2009. Purely stock apart from a damaged - and soon to be replaced - Yoshimura slip-on. Seems to be a R77 and from what I know, R77's are not destined to go on 14's.

Well, 26,900+ kms today and a few mods made so far, mostly "back to stock". Any comments welcome and open to positive criticism! Cheers and ride safe!

Thank you very much, Gentlemen! 

These are actually brand new Continental ContiRoadAttack 3's from last week (amazing tyres, without the Michelin pricetag) Because I did swap the 9 years old rear BATTLAX for another of the same, but was completely worn after 3,800 - 4,000 kms. Blame it on the lovely torque!

Latetsorpa, had a look at where you live, certainly seems a nice place. Paint on your bike, is that original?
