I was expecting something wacky....:(

Funny enough if i got that i'd rip the fairing off.. as i like the naked look of the NTV.. only reason my ones still got the fairing on is that i dont have the mounting for the headlight and now all the wirings in the fairing and i cba..

Make it a wacky coulour like bright orange or purple and I bet he would buy it in a second

Believe me, that is a great combo!

If it wasn't for the single headlight compared to my old twin headlight, that could have been the old NTV650 that I put 134,000 miles on....

Same engine as my Africa Twin (just a 100cc less and a shaftdrive). Just run in at 60,000 miles, camchains won't even be half way through their life.

Only problem with mine at 134,000 miles for a little tappy from then top end and the gearbox was getting a little stiff....
