out of interest is that front tyre fitted the correct way round as it looks like its channelling the water into the centre of the tyre

i still carnt understand why they chose to put the brake line through the mudguard i think a hole drilled in the forks and fed through looks miles better....only bad thing about that curry burner is the colour :roll: :roll: :roll:

most dont sell out they move on or add to there 2 wheeled collection , the desire to have a scooter with sustainable real speed @ over 70mph and the ability to carry 2 largish people in comfort along with 2 disc brakes excellent headlights and 80+mpg and no oil to mix is a major selling point for me, plus mine( GTS300) was a low mileage (200miles) machine for £2750 and in the last year has cost me err £60 for a service which is less than i spent just replacing the clutch plates springs and steels on my last ts1
ALSO the OP didnt post how much he paid for the frame i suspect he got a bargain there that would not be available to most people so the cost viability would put a few off then theres the Italian v Indian angle ..........................................
The usual blah blah blah from GTS owners. :roll:
