    Welcome in! Don't believe dilligaf it's cos his bike is black and he keeps hoping he'll lose it in the dark!!

    when i say 60k i refer to mileage which seems high but i have had a blackbird with 60 on and a cbf1000 with 76 on clock so i reckon with correct servicing should be fine i have other bikes this is mainly for light touring mainly scotland as i have a property up in aberdeenshire thanks for all your replies
