Doesn't that have storage where the tank usually is or is that just the 750

 

No it's a normal tank on that. It's the NC700/750 that has the storage box in the dummy tank. 👍

Overall the bike looks pretty clean. Are you going to fit the Grip Puppies, or doesn't it need them? Is it SW Motech who do a centre stand to fit?

Grip Puppies are on the way Bob......not particularly fussed with a centre stand though.

That number plate is just slightly wrong, the DBM's would have loved it had it been WKG as I'm sure they're partial to a bit of wanking  🤪

My bike's number plate ends in KWG as well, this is a strange coincidence. It is the proper colour for a rear number plate though, not that nancy boy white thing.

Yellow plates look really weird to me now....I think NL has them as well.

Why? I've had loads of bikes without centre stands!

If you didn't miss them before you'll be dandy. I think its a pita. Not got one of the 9T or the Mutt (unsurprisingly).

Centre stands have their uses, especially for a quick blasting of crap off your chain and lubing, rear puncture repair, weird uneven ground.. urr thats it 😆

Bikes take up less room in the garage on a centre stand. I can get more fuel in the tank when it's on the centre stand. Wheel removal is easier, especially on larger heavier machines. I can balance a cup of tea on the filler cap or top box easier as well.
