    Less than 300 miles a year?! Will probably need a damn good service and tyres/battery if its not been used much. Not even run in properly at that mileage is it?
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....

    My OH bought one brand new a few years ago a bright yellow FZ1N - lovely bike.

    He loved it, he only decided to sell it as he wanted a bigger touring bike at the time and p/ex'd it for an FJR1300.

    He added a few extra's including a tiny screen which he found was a huge improvement. I think it was a Puig?? screen.

    It is from pheonix motorcycles. So all should be appropriate im sure. And im still an asbo at times im afraid so I dont need to upgrade to an armchair just yet, but I do need some source of comfort and reliability as I am doing alot of miles and do take pillion every now and again. I was looking at a flyscreen and an acra exhaust :-)
