New Glee is home !!!!
« on: October 16, 2013, 18:23:23 »
Got it finaly !!!
I've done 600 km's to get my new (used) Glee. With help of good friend, we've done great journey and brought her home.

Here is some data:
- Jun 2012
- 7000 km's
- Announced price €7.000, negotiated a bit and got it for €6.800 (registration included)
- MRA dark Screen
- Nice looking hand guards but they're hitting the screen, need some work and they'll fit well
- Suzuki crash bars
- Exhaust with 0 km's (had Leo Vince installed but they wanted €500 more for it, asked for OEM one)
- Though announced with different mirrors, they had it in showroom with OEM mirrors. Never mind, I have Aprilia ones ready
- One year warranty (8 months from Suzuki plus 4 more from the dealer)
- Purchased at Suzuki dealer

Now I have a lot to do on it. I couldn't get clear indicator lenses (I hate orange ones). Those I found online are very expensive. I've ordered some clear indicators to serve until clear lenses for OEM ones get much cheaper. Next thing is Top Box. Found few Givi ones online, model E370, will order one. A lot of testing is to be make with screen to see if I can use it without spoiler for every day commuting and keep the spoiler for traveling further away only. Then I'll need 12V socket for GPS and maybe few more things.
Money is the issue right now as I've spent a lot and the only thing I'll buy tomorrow is disk lock for front wheel and U-lock for rear one. The rest will come slowly and will depend on the budget avaliable.
The only thing I can say right now, is, I'm hapy and I love it.
I have no problem manouvering it, I'm 6"2 and it's not too big for me. I just need some time to get used to it.
And, of course, here is the photo:

Thanks for that... Yes, after living in few places all over the Europe, I've chosen Southern Portugal for the rest of my days. I've been living here for 15 years now and don't want to leave. 300 sunny days a year, the coldest winter days (January) are with +10ºC. This is dream-land for riding, and also, this region has the biggest motorcycle concentration in Europe that takes place every July. It has 10-15.000 motorcycles from all over the world. This summer I've met brasilian bloke, 75 years old, that came to concentration as the end of his 30-days journey through the eastern Europe.
Great thing to visit:
