Looks nice though, a bit mile-ey but clean.

I agree, my 851 has 30,000+ miles including several trackdays and still feels fine

IMHO they are only as good as their last service, history is nice to have but that's about all for a 12 year old bike.

Yeah I know it's not too many miles really, I was just being 'ironic.' but in these days of 'post irony' no one seems to get it, heheheheh.

It does look nice doesn't it? Am I weird in saying that despite the fact that i've already got a nice one, when I see another one like this I want to own it as well?? I mean, I can't bloody ride more than one bike at once, but I have this 'fantasy garage' idea of owning loads of 888's. Hm must just be me :D
