Slightly off topic but i noticed in the third picture how compared to the rest of the bike that side stand is really quite ugly.

When I was 18 I meet an old guy on a Scott motorcycle who was 89 he said I only do about a thousand miles a year OMG!!!

At that point I was only doing two to three thousand miles on my RD400. 27 years later I do about 8 to 10 thousand per year, I always think I just hope I can do a thousand when I’m 89, still it may be on electrical scooter by then!!!

Good old boy, do Titanium knees give off sparks?

Good luck to him.
Hope I'm still riding at 89!

I just love it! I bought Daytona 675R (Almost grabbed the 898)last Aug (2011) and thought I was getting on a bit at 50. "Go Hard and Hold It On"

I'm still racing at 63. This guy gives me hope. I keep asking my racing organization (CCS in USA) to set up a Formula 60 Class
