Worth a look?

Post by loinstallion »

Spotted this one on auto trader. It's had manual CCTs put on so someone has paid it some attention. Anyone know the bike it's probably worth a look I think?

Looks ok, just average all weather ridden condition, paint coming off wheels, horrid fake carbon stickers on the seat unit, no seat hump/cover. looks like it's been crashed at some point as the clutch cover looks grazed. I think for what they are selling for the price is a bit high. Keep searching, if your happy to pay £1900 you'll find a nicer one, don't just go for manual tensioners, if the bikes good then just fit some soon as you've vaned it home.

Bike looks ok but a bit overpriced and the fitting of mcct's is a bonus but it's not that big of a job to do yourself,so don't let it sway you.It is from a dealer so you have got some piece of mind with some kind of a warranty.At the end of the day you pay your money and take your chance on a bike that is 20 years old.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN

Bought it, well put a deposit down until I see it, cheap as chips got a service and a fresh MOT put on as well if all goes to plan. I'll report back when I get hands on!
