    Hi there ledcat...that sure looks like some POS. not well looked after. I recall you writing it was through a dealer. Shame really, that you're unable to talk to the previous owner for some history. There are a whole bunch of reasons the bike could be in that condition. Owner neglect or environment...whatever. Lit badges tell me that at least one of the owners was likely a member here at one time.

    I live in the North West in a rain forest climate and my 5 year old B looks brand new..

    All owner riders here would agree (holy sh_t, a milestone!) that you will be pleasantly surprised when you ride an F6B that's been cared for.

    They are elegant and powerful - a true pleasure to ride. To quote a respected on again, off again member..."Best Bike Ever!"

    Good luck to you.

    Floats Like a Butterfly, Stings Like a "B"
    What does the B stand for? B-Courteous. B-Safe. B-Seen.....B-CNU on the road!

    Very respected.
    I do miss her 'round these parts!
    She had cool stuff to share and was as genuine as they come.
    She has the most mileage with forum members - discounting rally time.
    She still rides circles around everyone I know, and with a smile on her face.
    3 years, over 75,000 miles, and that's not commuting nor the entirety of last summer ('17) when she walked across Spain.

    Do you recognize that badge, just trying to figure out where that came from? Yes, it is a shame, No contact from previous owner, would have liked to get the OEM wheel, and here the history, maybe would have made me feel better about it.
