@ hmm, depending on your height you may want to change the screen. Buffeting was unbearable anything over 40mph until I cut the screen down. And I had the riders seat modified because the standard seat pushed into the tank and was hideously uncomfortable. It seems to work for others so just a case of suck it and see. Original Ceat tyres are pants but good enough to wear them out before changing.

That was very enjoyable and informative, thanks a lot. I'm actually happy to report that I've recently found a 2020 Classic 500, in the same colours as yours, with just over one thousand miles on the clock, which I'm due to get in the new year. To say that I cannot wait to own, ride and cherish it, would be the mother of all understatements.
