Hello from Orange region, Central West NSW
« on: November 01, 2023, 03:19:16 PM »
 :blu13

G'day.
Just picked up a 2004 Blue 1300.  Was tossing up between this and an adventure bike - mainly due to bad knees that are get a bit painful on my current ride, but wanted to avoid  a tall seat height.
Found this one locally in amazing condition for its 19 yrs and 99k kms and rides great.
Came with the tool kit, tank prop, books and bagster tank cover/bag.
Time will tell on the comfort.
Hoping to set this beauty up for long rides, with a view to a Darwin trip in 2025.
Cheers :)

Very nice.  I do think the blue ones are smart, and that one looks awesome.   Welcome to the forum from Brisbane.
