Gday ScottyD,
yeh mate some good advice to be had on site. great resource. happy with your deal on the bike? took the topbox as my yamaha freebie (found out afterwards ive got a bit of a wait till it arrives, no drama). the barkbusters i got thrown in would have come in handy, layed it over in some clay and got a bent clutch lever as well as a few scratches over the weekend(lol!..nothing stays new forever!). same goes if you get up this way, get in touch, its an explorers paradise.
any issues with the bike youre looking to iron out?

Hey Gandiva,
yeah, I'm stoked with my deal ($14,000 with a new Shoei Hornet for $350, plus the extras thrown in
). I'd be interested in hearing what you reckon of the top box. I almost went for that as well, but now I'm keen on a soft luggage set up (fitted a flat aluminium rack instead). The wait for the handguards is starting to annoy me. I'm starting to get out on the tracks a bit now, and they would really be handy (as you've already found out
). As I said, I haven't dropped it yet, but its only a matter of time.
When my touring range extends up your way (and one day it will), then I'll definitely give you a yell. Nothing beats local knowledge. Please make sure you do the same if down here.
No issues with the bike for me so far. I couldn't be happier.
Cheers dude.
