Cheers for that 👍 It's actually an NT1100, basically an AT on 17" wheels, less suspension. But still fun.

Took one on a test run a few months ago , what struck me about the bike was its great wind protection , the smooth easy power, and above all the low seat height 820mm and the incredible overall balance of the bike . They aren’t big sellers here in Australia , but if I had the $22000 AUD , would seriously consider this beast , love the black , get black , made it a complete stealth NT😊 But make sure you wear a fluro jacket , you need some colour for the cage buffoons ,just saw your closing snaps , the bike looks beautiful . Do you think you could somehow blacken the silver exhaust running at the bottom ? Reckon if that was blackened , the whole stealth mean Batman look would complete . Are you going to put some spotlights on the front bar ? Black Matt finish ones with black lens covers ? Smoked windscreen ? Black tail pipe ? But seriously wear a fluro wet weather jacket when going through towns , I was nearly collected on my Tri colour Transalp , with the mandatory running lights on , and the Honda always on front indicators . Doing 50 km per hour , an older lady on my right at a side road at an intersection, waited until I was twenty metres from her and then quickly pulled out 😮 I practice safe emergency braking every ride , had the front brake covered with two fingers , managed to avoid going over the side of her sedan bonnet and swerved past the front grill , only because she thank God braked to a standstill.😊 The point is I had just put on my black wet weather gear , I have a black helmet . I was so angry at nearly been put into hospital and my newish Transalp being damaged badly , but later that day told myself I was wearing all black on a cloudy day. Your bike is all black , but I don’t think that makes such a difference to visibility if we have bright helmets and clothing . I am going to get a green fluro jacket and put it on regularly on commutes, I know it’s uncool but after yesterday I just want to be seen by little old ladies, drug crazed moms and dads , ect ect. Love stealth bikes though , but firmly believe we see the rider not the bike, a too light bike can blend in with sunshine also ,but the helmet and jacket need some colour as that’s what is highest , our bodies stick up out of the bike . Sorry for the rambling just woke me up yesterday.

Might possibly be able to get a black link pipe. One thing, this bike probably due to all the fairing, wind protection and big engine gives off heat. Not sure it would be my choice in Aus' just because of that. In UK, usually bloody freezing, not a problem. Thanks for comments, much appreciated 👍👍
