OK, barely middleaged in Guzzi terms, but still. Zebee

I was talking outside of the warranty issue. If it's a warranty issue, then someone had better post the terms and condition of the warranty here so that informed comment is possible. ================= Onya bike Gerry

The Gladys??? I used to love the ER6F. In fact, before I got my SV it was my dream bike. I had a look on the Kawasaki website a little while back, and I don't think they make the ER6F any more. (The naked version is still around though). I will spurn Gladys forever because of her miniscule (14 litre) fuel tank. I get paranoid enough on the (17 litre) SV, and always try to fill up around the 250km mark - I guess the huge 20 litre tank on the GS500 spoiled me a bit! You know, I love (and hate) these times when I am looking for my next bike... betty
