As I said in a previous thread, it was with a heavy heart that I let my trusty Super Ten go as a trade in. She was a 2015 and had covered a reliable 47000m
I'd been thinking about it for a while and the deciding factors were;-
1 She needed about £1000 spending on her.........service inc valve check (I'm useless with a spanner) including the possibility of one or more coil sticks (slight misfire when washed....I know,,,, don't wash it!), tyres etc . When I rode a friends 2018, 20K bike I realised that mine was feeling slightly 'worn' in some area
2 This is the main one. The S10 is no longer available as a new bike in the UK due it failing to meet the new Euro 5 emissions. I think I'm correct in saying that it became illegal to sell a new. unregistered S10 after Dec 31 2020. The only ones available now are ones that were pre-registered to get around the new emission regulations. The supply of these bikes will soon dry up so for me it was now or never
My 'new bike' is a 2019 model registered by the dealer on 30 November 2020.
This is my bike in the showroom:-
As part of the deal the dealer transferred all my accessories, so here she is now plus a bit of bling
and finally 'ready to tour' if we ever get the chance again
