I hate to do this but im not using the bike enough to warrant keeping it, especially as i dont ride through the winter at all. pics to follow soon. Canyon yellow 18-19000 miles, too dark to go look now. 6 months tax put on this month mot till June 2011 all old mots present. New brake pads all round, braided front lines, zx636 rear shock and hagon progressive springs up front. this was a huge improvement over stock suspension. Pirelli tyres with a couple of thousand miles left Art race can on a cut system, original can and system in excellent condition available with it if wanted along with original rear shock and springs. There is a scratch on the tank where a bicycle handlebar caught it but this could be covered up by some motrax knee gripper. think thats all worth noting at this point, remember it is 11 years old. Ive had this bike since march 2010 and loved every minute of it and will be sad to see it go. £1250 Near Colchester Essex please pm for phone number and any questions.

Wouldn't mind more photos. Is that really an ART race can in the picture, looks decidedly stock to me. Also may sound daft but like the lighter yellow and not the Pearl Canyon that mine had.

I have recently passed my MOD 2 and would be looking at the SV as my next bike, however mother has dictated that i must wait a while before upgrading, if you haven't sold it in the next few months (which you will have done) i will be in a position to make you an offer.

If you fancy a winter hack i have a nice YBR that'll need a new home :P

How about holding an auction on here? - you'd be under no obligation to sell but it might give a good indication of what others are prepared to pay (I'm looking for a second, older bike to ride through the winter and possible track days). - just a thought.
