The motorcycle has arrived. Once unboxed I found that it had only had 1 mile on the odometer, which is what the factory puts on it for the system check. Over the months to come we to throw some kit on and get the bike broken in with some local road/dirt miles in preparation for the journey up to Anchorage.

It is essentially stock as seen below with heated grips and ABS. A few factory upgrades were ordered such as an on board computer, center stand, pannier mounts, ESA II (electronic suspension), Enduro ASC and the comfort seat, which has a mini lumbar support and more contour than the standard flat seat.

Still need to fit a few more bits and run some ride tests, but I feel like we are getting closer to the reality of this trip.
