As I'm off across the channel tomorrow, I needed/wanted to do a few things this morning just to ensure the 1098s was ready. This basically included a wash, checking the tyres and softening up the front a few clicks. Whilst I was out there, I cleaned up and Monster, gave her a good wax coating and them promptly took her up to Metropolis ready to be sold.
Instead of a 100 mile ride through the countryside, our final ride was just a little 15 minute bimble up the road in a pair of jeans. Sitting here now, this will be the first bike (with the exception of the ZX7-R of course) that I actually passed on that was still in working order. The Hornet and the Z1000 both came to an unfortunate end.
Looking at the pictures above, it's still an attractive bike. The red frame really sets off the black body work, but despite looking good, deep down, I know that moving the bike on is the right decision. Our time together was short and the sound track was amazing, but sadly she had a huge mountain to overcome and that mountain sat next to her overnight.
