I sold my 748 (boo hoo) with 25,000 on the clock (yr2k) just after Nelly at Cornerspeed had done a full service and breathed his special kind of magic on it and it was running better than the day I bought it brand new. There is something about a well maintained bike, but it's also about how it's ridden and there's also a huge amount of luck involved I think. Only need to look at poor Guy's situation, great bike, well maintained and ridden and two significant bits of bad luck. WeeJohnyB |
