I bought this Revere[2] in June 2010, with 71,700 km.
Modifications:
- front springs from Wilbers
- SAE10 oil instead of SAE5 in front fork
- adjustable pegs from Thurn -removed and replaced again with original pegs
- Bridgestone BT45[3]
- Hepco & Becker case mount
- Exchanged 50HP intake manifold with 60HP intake manifold[4]
- K&N air filter[5]
What sums this bike up for me?
- fun and no repairs. ever.
(preliminary:
- Reliable
- Nearly unbeatable uphill[6], but very weak downhill due to the brakes[7]
- Good handling in narrow bends, better than the GS
- Could use some extra hp
- Eierlegendewollmilchsaufuerwenigkohle

Footnotes:
- ↑ I have to look this up in the papers
- ↑ Revere looks like an french word, but is actually english (german readers know what I mean). See here. More about the Revere.
- ↑ Strangely, the BT45F is due after just 3000km - the BT45R might make another 2000 or 3000km)
- ↑ ...which was quite unnecessary, since the previous owner...look for yourself:
- ↑ Take a look at this:
That's the one I removed with 76Mm - ↑ Bei meinem Alpentrip 2010 hat der Kilogixxer am Mendelpass keinen Fuss auf den Boden bekommen...*hehe*
- ↑ Not, that they are bad, but they are just not as good as they could be (or those of the GS were)
