OK so its got to go, so I can start another winter project.
My beloved B12/GSXR/R6/R1.
Bandit lump (now working fine – all new valves and piston rings, 36k miles) and frame (with re-enforced subframe), R6 seat unit, GSXR 05 front end anodised black, callipers and using bandit wheel, R1 03 rear swingarm/shock/calliper/wheel. Full metal ornament hexagonal one off yokes and headlight brackets, fire – stacked headlight, with BMW style halo dipped beam. John Campbell one off exhaust and link pipe, dyno’d stage 3 set up by HM racing. Not a very impressive 112 BHP but a longer system would change that. Also currently geared for bottom end grunt (although got up to 170 on the dyno).
The Carbs will need balancing again in the near future (I’ve just cleaned them out).
Also there are a few cracks in the paintwork on the seat unit, and a couple of chips in the wheels (they were painted and not powder coated). I also have an original r6 rear seat unit with seat and brake light that I could throw in.
EVERY time I see that bike it makes me cry at the injustice in the world that I simply cannot save up the ( admittedly very few ) pounds that I would need to take that off your hands !!
It’s gotta be worth the £2500 in man hours alone ??
Was going to be looking for a cheap supermoto at some point but would far rather be in a position to take this from you - far more " exclusive " and needs less effort to keep it running I would assume LOL
Good luck buddy - Was gonna say give me a nod if you end up giving it away but , having thought about it , you already are at THAT money :hehe:
I know its really cheap, a lot of me mates at the garage reckon I should be charging a grand more but there are a couple of things need doing - carbs balancing and seat unit needs painting again cos there are a couple of cracks, thats why its 2.5.
But I want another winter project and as much I enjoy riding the demon I ain’t got enough money for 2 bikes.
Well , if I needed two and a half grands worth of bike that was head and shoulders above all the other " old sh1t " out there at that sort of money it would be in my garage by now - no hesitation !!!
Looks the dogs danglies and , kept in good condition and good running order I would imagine it would never lose a penny of that £2500 ???
That is such a sweet looking bike. Really wish I could afford to take it off you but not unlike yourself I can really only afford one bike… and the longer I look around on this here forum the more I realise what needs to get done to mine.
Its a strange time at the minute, everything is getting cheaper but no one wants to part with their money, I’ve seen some real cheap Busas and ZX12s around the 3k region. bit of a catch 22.
I’m a bit reluctant to put it up on ebay, as there are a lot of time wasters and untrustworthy types.
bloody bitch wont lend me the money, tel remember that new gal i told you about well she aint lending me the money for ya bike so instead im borrowing her stockings and going to barclays to with a shooter
