well the 4c8 had a generator problem every 20miles it would burn it to a crisp. 6 weeks they had the bike and still found nothing wrong .
so after all that they gave me my money back

rip

so I think winter hack so I got a xj600 £800 not bad I think

so after 4weeks I was missing the r1 and thought lets have a small look around. well the first bike shop I look at and there it was omg got to have it lol

My 2010 had a noisy cam chain on start up and at 3.5k revs it would make noise..
my 2013 is as quiet as a mouse in that department
