I only got this last week, but due to the riding position my mrs wont ride it...(i got it for her to ride)
It has a brand new MOT, no tax, its on sorn. 22000 miles, rides superb, engine sounds sweet as a nut. It has a full stainless exhaust with a high level carbon can, fitted with db killer, really nice noise :cool:
As you can see from the pics, its finished in TYCO race colours, the fork legs, footpeg hangars, and both levers are all polished. the chain and sprockets are good, as are the brakes, and fitted with Bridgestone battleaxes.
Lokking to either sell or swap for something with an upright riding position, something along the lines of a Hornet/Bandit/Fazer. Or maybe a big 4 stroke trail bike. Or a naked SV of course...
£1500 ono

Its a shame, but the curvy clip on riding position can be very uncomfortable.

Had you considered getting a top yoke conversion kit, so she could have a more upright riding position?

Agree with mav, for 100 to 150 squid you could make that a lot better. I've done it for my pointy as I was at the point of getting rid. Transformed the bike and its very comfy now. If she otherwise likes the bike then well worth it.

There was a naked top yoke up for sale on here for about 2 weeks ago, don't think it sold.

That and when she's done with the bike, unbolt it all return it to standard spec and you'll get most of what you spent back.

Thanks for the advice, and the pie !
We did look into getting another yoke for it, but 'she who must be obeyed' has made her mind up, another bike it has to be.
