Nice one, well shot too. Can see why Cornwall is such a draw with roads and views like those. And looked liked the St Ives were waiting for you...! And after my Bullet I was going to buy an MT500, but it never happened. They all looked perfect. You're blessed down there you are..😑

My neighbour has a 2004 Bullet 500..... from new :shock:

A couple of things to watch:

Points are a real PITA... he converted to electronic & runs much better.
The main power feed goes thru' the ammeter - his loosened off and wouldn't start.
Most of the threads are made of cheese - not cheddar but Dairy Lea :!:

Great little bikes though, +80mpg :lol:

I like the box on your MT. I carried plenty of spares, and some on my Bullet. 'Be Prepared' is the key..?. It's not 'If', but a case of 'When' you'll be carrying out emergency roadside surgery..!...but overall, it's one of those more-smiles-per-hour bikes. Great fun.
And we all know Zed bits can be pricey, but wait until you see the Hitchcock's catalogue for all things RE. 😉
