Looks brand new! I had the same exhaust (well a scorpion) on my old 125 and didn't sound too bad with the baffle out

It looks like a 620 Dark though, is the mileage and temp digital? (Just curious )

Its a 2000 M600 Dark. Analogue speedo and no temp gauge.

It should look new, it's only done 2600 miles!

I dont think so... There were receipts for everything except that. I think it's just been lovingly polished and cared for.

Paintwork should be matt/satin finish for dark so it may have been sprayed

Fair enough, in that case it almost certainly has been sprayed, I love the shiny-ness though.

Some better pics, nicely cleaned and polished for you! (Except the screen in the first pic as i forgot to polish the wax off!)






Changed the rear pads today and fitted a scottoiler and an extenda fender as ill be using for daily commuting and want to save the engine and manifolds as much as possible!

You dont want to go down the carbon road as it gets expensive

I know, it's not good. Might need a second bike. I dont think my ritual of wash thoroughly with turtle wax car wash, thick turtle wax to shine, colour magic turtle wax to shine and the turtle wax prestige finishing coat to shine is very time/cost effective for commuting.

And Albie, im loving that amount of carbon. I need to find myself a reasonably priced carbon tank, front mudgaurd and rear seat cowl and im finished haha!

Me too.Im lucky actually being the new ones they are panels and not a tank aMuch of mine has been secondhand so they took the full price. As new though.
You can get front mudguards from 916 to fit ypurs straight out. You have the later ie shocks with the plastic clips but you can modify a bracket on the early ones as I did on my m900 or get one from an SS.
Carbon tanks are technically illegal for the road apparently and very expensive. Seat cowels cheap enough though. The seat on mine cost nearly £600 but I paid £250 for it.

Keep up the good work and be proud of your ride
