Although I've been ridng on & off since I was 17 this was my first ever big tourer & what a machine.

She was an EX AA Roadwatch Polic Spec machine, the picture below shows how she would have looked before I got her (she was resprayed prior to my purchase).

I ran her for just over 2 years & 26k miles and sold her on (needing a new exhaust) for only £250 less than I paid for her !!.



I was already thinking of moving back to a Pan from my old GPZ500 (which you can just see in the background) when circumstances made it sooner rather than later. Mind you I didn't bargain on a work colleague ploughing into the back of me whilst I was stationary at a set of traffic lights . Ouch !!

Anyways to cut a long story short having been made a good offer on the Geep (£1000 when I only paid £700 for her 18 monhs & 19k miles previouslyy) I found this dark Green Meanie just outside my old home town of Cardiff.



She's a 98 ABS/TCS Model and only had 25k on the clock when I bought her in mid Sept 07. At the time of writing (Early July 08) she has just under 36k on her.

She was originally registered in Northen Ireland and when the second owner (who I bought her off) brought her to the mainland in May 06 he elected to keep the NI style number plate effectively making her dateless.
