    Thank you for all of your messages!
    It's a very original bike original colours - Green and Ivory.
    the only thing I've done is replaced the indicators for smaller ones and the rear light (as it fell apart).
    Only done 14k in 15 years!
    Probably as it was a non-runner when I bought it. It had an intermittent running fault and my father-in-law (owner) did not have the time or space it diagnose the fault.
    I managed to make him an offer he couldn't refuse and a bit of tlc, air box, coils, crank sensor, plugs and a damn good clean later and voila!
    Done a 1000 miles on it so far and much prefer it to my 2018 BMW R Nine-T and BSA A7 hardtail chopper !!

    Those Tor pipes look awesome - were they tricky to fit? I love the look of my standard pipes, but I can't tell if it's running when I pull up next to my Harley mates :)

    The pipes on the Aegean blue bike look like they’re straight thru... any idea what make ?

    They do look cool - I'd be interested too.

    You can't miss me I'm the fat bloke on the Thunderbird 1700 LT with the wife on the back.

    I’ll keep an eye out for you too.
    I’m more on the R nine-t at the mo as I’m trying to get it run in so I can hammer it

    Thanks Bikerman. I'm looking forward to putting some miles on it. St.Ives Show this weekend then a trip further afield once I get the panniers on. :)
