Yes, well dodgy!

We asked the crew who owned/was chartering it but they wouldnโ€™t say.

All current REโ€™s arenโ€™t complex and most things can be serviced at home. If you are competent, follow the table in the service manual & check YouTube for tips

If you want a cast iron warranty/not sure as a mech, get it done at the dealer.

I had mine dealer serviced during warranty and DIY it now.

Itโ€™s a fantastic city, gritty, edgy, friendly but with real soul and a sense of history/civilisation at every corner.

That โ€œPremium auraโ€ is paper thin and, in my experience, undeserved.

BMW R1150R was the most unreliable bike Iโ€™ve ever owned, Suzuki 1200 Bandit the most reliable.

Ditto an Audi A4 Avant I owned v a number of Mazdaโ€™s, Nissans and Kiaโ€™s.

Quality =fitness for purpose.

Counterfeit spark plugs: The ignition villains that could ruin your engine! NGK SPARK PLUG advises on how to beat the counterfeiters. Fake spark plugs can do serious damage to cars and businesses.

Some may already be aware of this but worth repeating, BEWARE FAKE NGK PLUGS.
There are quite a lot of false ones many marked as from Thailand not Japan, although some are even marked Japan but are not genuine. www.ngkntk.com/newsroom/fea...

I do.

Eventually replaced it with a 1200 Bandit. A wonderfully mad bike.
