Testing the water a bit really... Depending on whether my car sells I'm hoping to pool some cash together for a new bike, and if so my beloved Black Curvy will have to go to make room too.. :|
14.5k miles, I'm the 3rd Owner. Only mods are a Fabbri double bubble screen I fitted late last year and a Hagon rear shock which was on it when I bought it.
Recently changed the Reg/Rec (as you'll find if you follow Paul the 6ths advice and thread-hunt!), but prior to that it got a new battery (month or so ago).
Needs a new back tyre which I'll end up replacing in the next week or so anyway, so nowt to worry about there.
Had it serviced & MOT'd by the local garage/mechanic in April, had the carbs balanced last week and a new chain & sprocket last month, (changed the size of the front sprocket, meaning it now accelerates like a woman about to go into labour!!).
Only 'project' work it hasn't had done is the front forks need stiffening up a bit for my liking.
"Yeah yeah but what's wrong with it?" I hear you asking...
Usual cacky browning of the downpipes and I'd used it through the winter so some of the nuts/bolts are a bit browned too. The left hand mirror has a wee bit of paint missing where I caught it against the garage wall. Other than that, it starts/stops/steers etc as well as it's ever done.
Never been raced, dropped or crashed.
Anyone interested? Will be looking for around the £1500 mark.
