Did you have to make us jealous .....

Fantastic bike!! Love it!!

Only things I can call out about it- mirrors, chrome bar ends and rlets.

I'll forgive the gold rims... and I would be very inclined- as deep as you are in it- to remove and replace with silver jugs & head.

Utterly glorious!!

Thank you for all the positive comments, much appreciated.

Gentle ride out yesterday, first stop for coffee & cake took us to our local bike superstore J&S, the cafe always a popular pit stop on a sunny day.

Next stop took us to another popular stop on the bank of the river Dee in Chester city centre, myself on the K10, Si on the XJR1300 & Dave on the Z1300. After coming out of lockdown it was great to see all generations out and safely enjoying the sunshine.

Pulled off the dust cover, hit the key, fired up first pop after a winter lay-up. Had a couple of trips to work this week to feel my way back into the saddle, was good to look out on from my office window in the late afternoon sunlight today.

Planning a short trip with the boys for a coffee tomorrow, so will add more photos whilst out and about in Cheshire.

What mirrors are those out of curiosity?

I hear you. Whilst I'm not in a rush to pull down a perfectly running 56,000km engine, should anything ever happen to it an all-silver replacement would be top of my search list.

Great question. The answer is that I don't know.

The (originally white) K10 was a Japanese import with the mirrors were already fitted. I added the headlight ears & rear light with the colour change to turquoise but everything else is as it came, including the gold rim wheels.

Very rare, unique and elegant colour

Good call on changing the headlight mount ears.

Maybe add some chrome covers to the rear shocks?

I also LOVE that you removed the rear 'garnish' grab bars.

I did as well, but more people leave them....

I wanted the K10 tank and sidecovers. That kit is over $3k.. I was floored. Maybe one day I'll get a good win in Vegas and just get it.
