It's had a clean. The photo shows it's clean but the real proof is the obligatory random hand injury.

In my defence, it is a much newer generation of bike to yours, so it's always going to be better on fuel. Plus I'm road riding.

Most of the motorway at the moment is 50mph, so I slap on the cruise control, which saves a huge amount of fuel.

Dare say the ZX holds a bit more too?

The bike is booked in for an annual service at the end of the month.
My mileage increase from the last service is pretty embarrassing.

Annual service done with new brake fluid. £235 all in. I thought that was pretty reasonable.

I think that’s a good price.
