When you look at the badge I think you'll find it's 'SE' for 'Special Edition'.

Unless you've one of those Limited Editions (they only made one!)

Steve - congrats on an excellent choice. I've got No.70 which I registered on Jan 1. I've only done 4000 miles so far but managed 300 of those at the weekend. Brilliant. After a couple of niggles at the beginning it's been fantastic (I hope I don't regret saying that). Still hoping to make PH4 on Sunday so long as a close relative in hospital doesn't take a turn for the worse.
Cheers, Paul
