Title: Pulled the trigger..
Post by: spb2002 on Tuesday, 30 March 2021, 09:02 PM

....on this today! It has good bits and bad bits, but it was within my budget and I have some cash to spare for any bits that need doing. I'm happy though! next step is to study the New Bike Checklist thoroughly!  :grin:

Good on ya mate!   It's a Black, so ya can't go wrong!   I see the "Fuel Injection" badge is missing off the side cover though.

Cheers Col! :)

Yeah, there are a few issues... 1 black lever, 1 plain lever..... rear shocks look like cheap aftermarket ones, to name a couple. It's being serviced and MOT'd before being delivered, so hopefully nothing too scary!

Looks nice does that.

What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

Thinking of selling mine but I not sure on prices as they are all over the place. Plus mines been painted matt black so that won't help with the resale value.

This one is costing me £3800, all in. After this, they all seem to be priced at £4,500+

Matt black looks cool though, i'll bet. Do you have a pic of her?

If you paint it white and blue it'll be heaps quicker. Lots of mods from a quick perusal. Make it your own and F... everyone else's opinion LMFAO.  :stir: :stir: :stir:

Lol.... I do really like the blue and white! I just prefer black...  :grin:

Hopefully a few tweaks here and there, and as you say, it'll have my own stamp on it!
