Thanks for the comments.

The front tyre is 130/80-18" and the rear a whopping 180/80-18". You can get replacement Dunlop fronts and Bridgestone rears between £80 to £110 each, if you shop-around a bit.

I got the blue colour bike because the dealer was clearing it off his stock and got a £400 discount and a free delivery (worth £100). If I had gone for the yellow I wanted, I woul dhave had to pay full price. So I was tempted to spend the modding money on a paint-job and get the paintwork transfer dipped (tank, fenders, side panels). The fenders are unpainted white plastic.

Engine, by the way, is marked 166FMM with no manufacturer identified, which seems to be common practice on Skyteam engines, I have read. The frame number is a lot of zero's ending in "7" so I am thinking of naming the bike "Bond"

We have Plasti Dip in the UK, but the application is horrendous - - - how do I get the bike onto the roof?
