I'm seriuos about GT85, i had the F800GS last winter & rode it most days
through all the salt & ****. I never washed the bike once & just spreayed it
every time i got home.

Come selling time in may, i gave it a mega clean & it was like new, not a
mark on it at all.

Thats F365 stuff is horrible as it's really hard to get off properly & it
caused stains on one bike i had, but GT85 does the lot.

We will be kind and assume you are posting from a PDA?

What's a good day to get these fairing panels to you, where/how. Thanks for
assistance.

There was a nold GT250 at the Stafford show recently, presented as a GT380.
I was tempted to ask if the other cylinder was included in the sale.

T500.

Suzuki 2-strokes went to rat **** when they started using the GT model
designations and putting on ram air.
