Ad reads,

Standard spec includes :
Paddock Stand Bobbins

What are the Padded Stand Bobbins?
I guess I'm looking for the UK to USA conversion. They can't be talking about a side stand cushion could they?

They are the thingies on the rear swingarm that rear stands that use bobbins slip onto. A lot of sport bikes have mounting holes in the swingarm to accept the bobbins, but don't come with the bobbins themselves. They're usually called spools on this side of the pond.

They are even prettier "up close and personal"
We had one standing as a display in the local bank a while back (yes, bank manager is a bike nut)

The only problem I could foresee with this bike is, after every ride I'd want to LICK IT CLEAN and I might burn my tongue on the downpipes

Tho ith I thtart thoo thalk like thith, you'll know what I've been doing

Sexy looking bike but that tank looks like it could do some damage.
