      Looks to be in great condition for the miles. Whats the black box on the left mirror?

      it's a card reader unit for toll roads and parking gantries (wherever that charges). so basically you load up a card with money and use it for those purposes.

      she's not bad for her age and mileage. 2012 model, couple minor issues I'll get fixed soon enough. oil seals for the front fork being one of them.

          @Grigory68 that is a fine bike there! Big fan of the telelever Rs 👊🏻👊🏻
          I have a 2014 one. Find it a perfect tool for long trips and twisty roads.

          The journey is the objective.

              :)BMW for dummies like me with all braking systems is the best option. …......... With the enduro (I see you have appeared) there was an experience of replacing the engine due to oil starvation due to the oil seal on the drive sprocket worn out by the rope. Didn't notice when it wound up, and gave my friends a ride .......

                  Thanks for the tip, I’ll keep a close eye on my oil window. 👍🏼👍🏼

                        Wanted to share my Forty-Eight here.  Will be doing a clutch pack upgrade and swapping to a 2-into-1 stainless exhaust in the coming weeks.

                            That's a nice bottle setup you got there 👍

                              Thanks!  That’s my reserve since the tank is only 2.1 gallons.

                                My 48 loaded for a 7 day trip. 2 gallon jerry can in one of the saddle bags. The short coming isn’t the 90 mile range of the tank because you’re ready for a stretch at that point. Its when you fuel up and come across a gas station in 45 miles. You don’t want to pull over so soon and with a 1/2 tank in reserve but if you’re in the sticks and the next station is 55 miles away you’re in a jam.

                                  7 day trip on a sporty sounds fun  ??? 😃 I couldn't imagine that, but did several two to three days as well. As you said, once the tank is empty, you are ready for a stretch.
                                  Which sissy bar are you using?

                                    Lovely bike @benniejackson . Good looking headlamp, how do you find the light? And the ‘adaptive’ feature?

                                    The journey is the objective.

                                        @Bfd70 Nice bike! That when to stop dilemma is tough. I'm still not sure how much of the 90 mile range I've shaved off with the tank lift. How do you like that seat?

                                        @motojobobo I like the extra light over stock, even if it is just to help other drivers see me in the daytime. I don't do a ton of riding after dark. Tough to give a real review on the adaptive, but I've definitely noticed it working before.

                                          Confusion. I was just posting that pic up because of the other 48 with spare fuel. The photo was taken in 2014. I’d never do that on a sporty now. Its a touring model or I go 4 wheels.
                                          Dont remember the seat or bar models
