Can it either be de-beaked or supplied with a spline in the final drive that will strip and a suit that makes everyone think you are a ****** for an extra £6000?

Centre stand is important. A huge black mark against the versus for having the exhaust in the way.

They should also tuck in the indicators at the first revamp. Any bike that hasn't been dropped at low speed doesn't deserve the adventure tag.

Service intervals is the biggy though. At 4000 they are off the shopping list. 10000 is the target.

I thought there was a 3rd party centre stand for the Versys.

Why did you move away from the iconic (and very effective) twin headlights
Could we get a "New DL1000 day" at Milton Keynes

Great idea! I'd be up for that!
