and where did you get the X-ADV from??

Careful...it could be a Transformer

Had one of these, nice but temperamental I felt you rode it like a diesel all low down torque traded it for a new 2002 Fireblade.

My first 1993 Fireblade did 120,000 k, has been all over Europe several times and only let me down once an electrical joint in the wiring loom under the seat failed and it dropped it onto two cylinders.

The Fireblade twin still got me home.

Loved those 916 and 996’s
Just too high maintenance though.
