Its a TCP fairing, made in Spain and factory fitted. Its the early MK1 version, the MK2 had an eliptical headlamp. I dont think they were ever available in the USA.

Are you having us on, and this is the 10,000 after it went from 99,999 to 00,000? Or are you really putting in less than 1000 a year (I forget - you may have a pile of other bikes??)

Honestly mate....it has just turned a genuine 10k. Notice the reg no begins with an M....means it was first registered between 1/8/94 and 31/7/95...Mine was registered on 4/8/94

http://www.number-plates-car-registrations.co.uk/prefix_registration_years.htm

I bought it in 1999 from the first owner with about 4.5k on the clock and all the paperwork to confirm it including the original sales invoice. I bought it with the intention of punting it on at a profit but decided it was far to good to sell. It is truly immaculate, faultless and totaly original, and it only comes out when the weather is fine  :D You might notice in the pic that the paint on the different fairing sections has faded slightly thats the only real issue. Book price for that year is about £400 here in the UK now but I have no intention of selling it and am hoping that sometime in the future its value will go up!...thats a brand new BT45 on the back....and yeah I have two other bikes that I rack the miles up on  :thumb:

Very nice looking bike! Super crazy low miles! At my current rate, I'll be able to post a picture of my odometer rolling back to 0 in a year or so...
