Triumph daytona 600
... It has a few marks/scratches as you would expect from a bike of this age, the worst of which are the stone chips to the headlights (now covered – great to be wise after the event!).

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review
... put it towards a toy - something like the 2016 ZX10R ;) I think it depends if you commute and tour on the SX or just commute.

... generally made out of cheese? I've not heard too many glowing reports about their build quality. I like the SX, it ticks most boxes. It's not the greatest looking bike I know but you get a lot for your money. It's great for work and I had no complaints about it when I toured in France. There's ...
