    Let's see, now. Non standard paint. Non standard exhaust. Non standard
    seat. Non standard rear mudguard. Missing grab handle. Non standard
    shocks (might forgive that one). Non standard indicators. Non standard
    grips.

    And those are only the bits I can see from the crappy pix. I see he's
    at least admitted that some of the above are not stock, mind.

    Some twonk's already bid it up to £350.

    Not much. The going rate is a crashed Triumph Trophy, so I've heard....

    You know I might have another one if I could find at least two other
    people prepared to divvy up the cost of a 15% higher final drive ratio
    or 5th gear cog set

    The K11 Forum said this:

    A 33/13 set of gears out of a R1200C will fit into the K11 housing. It
    works great and you won't be trying to shift into to that extra gear
    (that doesn't exist) anymore! It will pull 500rpm off when in top gear
    compared to the standard 31/11 gears. Fuel economy is better on the
    open road and you still don't need to change back any gears when
    overtaking. Alternatively 34/13 gears from a K1200LT (2002 on) can be
    used and they will drop 300rpm off.

    Sold to the twonk, it seems.

    Exhaust looks like Motad, seat looks like a CB125/Henkel hybrid, mudguard
    looks like a CB500T. And where's the unobtainium grab handle?
