I'm of the view that bikes are for riding and not for cleaning. However I will have to smarten up the ST1100 over the next month.
Looks as if I'll be going home to New Zealand around April, and I'll likely buy something different once I get home.
So I'll be tidying up the mirror covers, polishing all the paintwork (especially the right side pannier where my boot sometimes scrapes when getting on), clean up the wheels and check the brake pads and rotors, and get her serviced and checked against a RWC getting her ready for sale.
I've had fun on her, lovely bike for up here where distances between places are a little longer. And a lovely bike to ride, responsive, loads of pull and great handling.
As I'll want a quick sale, I'll probably be asking $3500 for her, 2000 ST1100PY with just under 140,000 km on the clock. We'll see.
