Right !!!!! Bought a Mint 600mile only 2011 White Mk 3 , sport screen + akro will go straight on and I have saved £3600 on a new 530 !!! Thats if you include not having to buy a new akro as the old one won't fit !!

Super....now go out and buy a Malossi variator - with the akro, you'll have all the performance of the mk4 anyway! And still have £3300 in your pocket!

My friend rides a Mk3 and was thinking of getting a Mk4 and persuaded me to go along with him to have a test ride.

We liked the Mk4 apart from the screeching noise at 30mph from the (tight ?) belt but both preferred the Mk3's styling - also we did not think the performance increase amounted to much.

I prefer the shiny nits and the instruments on the mk3 so bought one !

I love it !
