    End of Tenure Report

    After 4+ years of S10 ownership I've decided to move on. I didn't get as many miles on it as I would have thought, only managing just shy of 12K and apart from a few niggles its been the most dependable bike I've owned. A few things steered me into swapping it out , these were 1) my local...

    XT700 ?

    Anyone else eagerly awaiting the much rumoured XT700s arrival? I hear its likely to be shown at Intermot alongside a number of other new yams. I've got the nextbike itch and feel its time to move on from my now 5year old S10 and the XT700 will most likely be on the shortlist of possible...

    off idle stumble

    I've been running a Remus Titanium can on my S10 for about 3k miles sans the DB killer , and I loved the way it sounded loud but not too loud,to my ear? ( probably quieter than my stock canned Ducati superlight though that could be 20yr old cans and I suspect Italian interpretation of noise...

    World Crosser Bits NLA?

    I'd previously ordered a World Crosser kit sticker set from my local yam parts dealer (P/N 23P-F17C0-V0) and as I had ballsed up the screen sticker fitment and the exhaust side cover (as it wouldn't stick to the carbon wrap) I thought I's see about getting a 2nd kit as it would also give me some...
