Hi,

Looking for somthing just like this, how come you fitted straight bars? Also what does that mean any way! :smt026

Is it still available and whats the location?

[davegee59]

hiya mate the straight bars are raised up a bit so you sit more upright
and makes it easier on the back and wrist,but i still have the original bars as well,and i'm in failsworth manchester

seating position.

There was a crap load more than that. A folder full!

Well for the next owner on here I'll give you a little history.

I bought that bike from a family who had it laid up for 2 years. It belonged to a lady owner who had it lowered and she was away in Iraq as she's in the army. She decided to have her bike sold as she didn't use it.

The bike was mint when I picked it up, sounded awesome and never missed a beat. I used her all year round whilst trying my best without a garage to keep her clean. Acf kept the finish pretty good all round. I used the bike to commute to and from London all year round once every two weeks. In that time it has had a lot of work done, and I still have originals to fit the bike.

The only times it ever broke down on me was when the battery gave up the ghost, and when the front cylinder got covered in snow back in 2008. Spark plug was soaked and rode it 10 miles across London on one cylinder lol.

Apart from that the cam chain tensioner was replaced as it sounded like a tractor, as was the chain, tyres, pads, brakes worked on, fork seals etc. All receipts for above.

I then parted with it back in April 2010 and sold it for a grand to arriva Kawasaki Bristol as a part ex for my Kawasaki versys. It didn't go on the floor, it went straight out to a trader who sold it on eBay. Presumably dave bought it and now here it is for sale!

Ps in all motorway miles travelled it never exceeded 75mph as at 6ft2" it felt like it was going to rip my head off.

Hope it helps and hope that gives you confidence in buying! Not often you get the history of the last 10k the bikes covered!

Very tidy looking curvy! Would help if you let people know where in the country you are located.

Would you considering meeting me at a ferry?

[davegee59]

A ferry? Where are you coming from mate and which ferry port
I would have to tax the bike to do this as it's sorned at the moment. But to be honest I don't know when I could find the time.we could negotiate on the price to make it worth hour while travelling

Coming from Ireland, Dublin if possible.

If it's not taxed don't worry about it, it'll be wasted money if I buy it!

[davepreston]

Really appreciate the offer man but I doubt the old bill will appreciate me riding an untaxed unrestricted bike, even if it's only to the nearest ferry :p

Derail alert!
I'm 6'5" and have no problem at Autobahn speeds.
Even had an indicated 140mph (realistically 120mph!) on Bruntingthorpe runway with no problems. :)
Dont let that put any tall riders off!
Goo luck with the sale and free bump!

[Phaelok]

Well in all the motorway miles covered (approx 7,500) I never once liked going above 75. It was bloody horrible and felt like my head was going to come off...

This could be down to the type of my helmet etc. Maybe you being taller were hitting clean air instead of air being buffeted off the screen?? :confused:

Dont let that discourage you though - brilliant bike and I do regret selling it. If i could I would have kept it. Im considering buying one sub-£1000 and using it as a track bike. :rolleyes:

[klu]

Right I'm having this :D can get over to you Wednesday? Drop me a PM when you're back online!

[davegee59]

[CLARKYsv]

Just out of curiosity.... do the straight bars mess with the fairings at all?

Do you happen to have a picture with the straight bars on?

Only cause I'm curious about putting fairings on my naked...

[davegee59]

no mate they're fine,when manouvering in the garden they nearly touch but not quite
but my bars are lower than standard naked bars i think they'd touch
