That grey would look especially good with a blackout on the motor/exhaust.

Hang about,

So it looks like the AG comes on 19" rims then? Looks like Avon SM there. I thought the new green ones had an 18" rear and used AM26 or their equivalent.

I have to say, the colour does accentuate the square rear mudguard more, which I'm not overly keen on. Hopefully I've stopped spending on bits I've broken or things that have naturally bust themselves, and can look into exhausts, tyres, maybe a new rear and that fancy EJK unit wildbill is currently raving about.

Col., Ya may be right about that, haven't really considered the blackout mix. I may just pick up some matte black plasti-dip to take a closer look at that combo. Thanks.

Went into the local dealer and saw the bike for real, beautiful.
On a sad note, my old iron barrel which had spent too long on the showroom floor got broken and sold for parts. Like losing a member of the family. R.I.P.

Man, I hate to see ANY running bike broken down to sell as parts. Parting out a wrecked bike is one thing, but one that's running well?  Sad to hear it. One less classic on the road.

 Some one will need the frame and papers sooner or later and she will rise from the ashes then.

The frame has a new home. Pity because the whole bike would have been perfect for the environment.

 Lovely bike. I'm glad that the frame lives on. Doubtless the rest of the bits were sorely needed as well.

All B5's come with 19" front and rear wheels in the UK. They also have a 7" headlight as standard.

I am so tempted.

The picture of the top of the nacelle of the Athena Grey B5 in Malky's post shows the throttle cables passing into the RHS of the nacelle. I thought that throttle cables were being re-routed for 2016?

 What's old is new. The cables of my '06 go through the casquette as well.
