I had a common issue on mine where a wire by the headstock rubs through. Its the immobiliser and you get an error when trying to start it. Quick fix but keep an eye on it
My bro just had his back tweaked to 204 bhp tested at the rear wheel, and Maxton shocks done. I'd say it's an animal alright, but it's not an especially pretty bike imho.
I don't like the paint jobs, and it looks too angular rather than flowing like a new Duke. The wing mirrors might work though.
It is a lovely bike, and I love the exhaust pipe also. Travel safe on it. I just love the 1098 flow, and its redness and shininess. It's also considerably cheaper to insure than an R1, as every scrote in the country doesn't want to nick it instantly.
@JH_1986 non of my keys have a transponder in um mate and there is no key imobilizer light on the dash either
I had a beautiful blue one back in 2000 like this one,secondhand from a chap in guildford (one year old/owner low mileage machine,150 power),and i loved it
