With great sadness, comes the bike... CBR600FY

:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: I need to find it a new home… :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Firstly Id LIKE £1450 but this is LB and a **** time to be selling… so I think £1300ono is reasonable… :Whistling:

Im in no rush to sell it but its upsetting me everytime I look at it.

It needs a little TLCTires could do with changing fairly soonNeutral light is a little tempramental Baffle in exhaust makes a slight rattle at mid RPM I think Headrace could do with adjusting/replacing (Slight judder when using front brake)Changed spark plugs last week and it seems to be misfiring since (Sounds like 3 cylinders rather than 4) Im geussing Iv not put a cap on properly or something silly.Good points,TAX May 2013MOT May 28thNew spark plugsEngine is spot on and never let me down (Makes a change from my history of bikes!) :hehe:Chain and sprokets are goodVery tidy for its ageSmall modificationsto tidy it upSummer is just around the corner…

I’m in no rush to sell but I will consider reasonable offers made. PM me for more info

I will leave it here for a couple of days then chuck it on the bay if it hasnt gone.

Stick a set of renthal bars on it and sit upright instead of hunched over and it might be fine .

The SV was just as bad. Hence why im just gonna take a break, Its a lovely bike as it is, I dont want to ruin it by streetfighting it.

swap it for a cruiser

I contemplatedit…

I have thought of pretty much everything… But needs must… gonna keep my insurance running on the Mrs bike so my NCB keeps going up… but the gloves are up.

Trade it for a maxi scooter - thats like an armchair and as comfy as a car seat! :ermm:

A mate has a drz400sm 2008 £1400
its a stolen and recovered bike that he had third party only, was found a few month later in a lockup with loads of other stolen bike. not insurance category
damage is a busted ignition barrel, missing number plate holder & rear light. petrol cap lock busted.
this is the bike and looks just as good still + running sweet. easy worth £2600 if fixed but already has another bike so wants it gone

Potentially sold

Taken a deposit, guy is coming to view it on saturday…

(YES, he paid a deposit without viewing)

I would have done too!

So… This guy turns up… Looking extremely tired… (He left home yesterday to get here for the bike, today) he came from Germany, upon his arrival I went to get the papers for the bike.

Dum …
dum…

duuuuuuum!!!

NO LOGBOOK, I can’t find it anywhere!
I knocked a bit of money off for him with the reassurance of receipts etc… But these are no good too him, he needs v5 to export it.

What a pain in the hole!!!

He’s going back to Germany, I’ve applied for new logbook (should be here in the next five days) however if someone on here wants it, il take £1150 today, as I need to go and collect the car… Buses aren’t cutting it.
Logbook will be sorted once it arrives unless you want to apply direct…

wow, I bet he was fuming!

oh dude…:frowning:

suprisingly not… by the sounds of it he exports on a regular basis…
he said if i find the logbook by next week end he will have it

he must be the same guy who’s bought Aidan’s bike!

good find, it wont be top money but at least you’re guarantee a sale.

aiden?

Irish guy, he sold his SR1000 when he went off to work in Qatar.

that bike went for great price in the end was thinking about selling all my bike just to get it

ah, ok
