Although having ample experience of the non-TF 1750 GS, I must admit to never having seen a TF engine in the reality. But I do find it strange to find the nuts holding the cylinder head (just as on the non-TF's) in the photos. Surely the TF monobloc was held in place by bolts at the cylinder/monobloc foot alone?
In the description they obviously don't know the difference between 1750 GS and 1750 GSTF, which, in my opinion, is all but impressive.
