first big(ger) bike, finally!

passed in march, so this moment was a long time coming unfortunately... but got there in the end.

budget was tight after mate decided to get married abroad, and I'm moving in with the mrs at the end of the month, so felt a bit like now or never.

she's an ER-5... obviously not going to enthrall many folk, but I'm rather enjoying it so far

I've done 400/450 miles roughly so far and she's running great (I think)... she almost certainly needs a clutch or clutch springs as it occasionally slips up in 4th around 7k rpm. but other than that, tidy darts.

got renthal bars, uprated rear shocks, though not sure what they are or if they are good or bad. think I'm going to swap the bars for standard ones, as they're not too comfy on the thumbs. though they do look good.

only just ticked over 18k since I've had it. has 10 months tax and test... and everything's in good order as far as I can tell.

here's a couple of photos... what you think for £550?
