That looks a beast of a bike Ken  - badge is hard to read a 1300.

Too powerful & heavy  for me today but a great looking bike - love the wheels & brakes not to mention the rear dampers. 8) 8) 8)

It is a beast Ted, incredible amount of torque. The dampers are copies, bought them 10 years ago and still going strong, handles well with them on. They even came with Ohlin stickers in the box so you could make them look like the real thing. £140 a pair, bargain. £1150 for a pair of genuine Ohlins for this bike.
