    I thought the smcr was fairly sought after so quite surprised it hasn't gone yet, its probably not what you're looking to do but Dobles gave me a good px price for my 690 duke.

    They are a sought after bike but I think ghe market is a bit weak at the moment for bikes in general. My local bike dealer is giving ridiculous reductions on new and pre reg bikes just go shift them.

    Now that's what I call a hugger, it should keep the crap off the shock, I need one.

    Gold engine cases, same as mine,
