    Wow, it looks very clean for that mileage. A credit to you mate. Does the Blackbird have the linked brake set up like the VFR's?

    Blackbird was the top of my list when I was shopping in 2011.

    BUT…

    I ended up on a Bandit 1250 S. Nice; I still have it.

    BUT…

    After my all-time fave, BMW 1150 GS (not 1200), I’d fancy another Adventure bike.

    BUT…

    They’re too expensive.

    BUT…

    I see Tiger 955s look like a budget buy; hence, my interest in this forum.

    BUT…

    They cost a wad to sort out if they’ve got issues.

    BUT…

    What doesn’t?

    Blackbirds are awesome. I believe they are collectable here in the states.
