REDUCED DUE TO TIMEWASTER LETTING ME DOWN ON DAY OF COLLECTION - NO OFFERS - BARGAIN.
FIRSTLY, WHEN ONLY ONE YEAR OLD (2003) THIS WAS A "CAT D" BUT OBVIOUSLY BEEN RIDDEN SINCE FOR THE LAST 23 YEARS SO REALLY SHOULDN'T PUT YOU OFF BEING SUCH A LONG TIME AGO (Last owner didn't even know it was so long ago). I RODE IT HOME AND IT RIDES/ STOPS AS IT SHOULD PLUS I HAVE PRICED IT TO TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT
This is a lovely example (there's a lot of tatty high mileage ones out there) in the speed block blue livery & being a 2002 comes with the better quality yellow OHLINS as standard. The bike benefits from bar risers & RENTHAL bars (even more comfortable), heated grips, lovely sounding 4 into 1 LASER exhaust, new chain & sprockets & recent service with MOT (advisory free) until September & tool kit. The bike is almost standard apart from the mirrors & LED indicators.
I have no service history as is typical with these big muscle bikes they are nearly always self serviced by old school enthusiasts, just a few pieces of paperwork (obviously V5) BUT the engine is whisper quiet, pulls like a train & I have an HPI report backing up the mileage with MOT history all the way back to 2009. The last owner in his 60's put new chain & sprockets on, serviced, recent battery, cleaned the carbs & put new inlet rubbers on BUT found it too heavy for him now, hence the reason for sale. It needs crabs sorting again, turbine smooth on acceleration & above 2, 000 rpm but lumpy on tickover. You forget how much lovely low down grunt (torque) these bikes have, it really pulls the sockets out of your arms as I found out when riding it home!
Paintwork is excellent with only a couple of very minor marks (remember it is 24 years old!), frame is good, wheels great, forks & other alloy parts very tidy, seat like new & I have 2 keys. 1 key operates all locks. So, overall a very tidy low mileage example in one of the best liveries, at a very realistic price.
