It is with ultimate reluctance that I have to part ways with my first and most beloved bike (buying a new car and need garage space).
I purchased the bike back in 2009. At the time it had only around 9,000 miles on the clock and since then I have only brought that total up to 13,500 miles. Most of the riding was short London commutes.
I was involved in an accident in 2009. Read about it here

Front end was damaged, and through buying all genuine suzuki parts mostly via this forum, spannerman (also of this forum) brought the bike back to life for me and did a great job.
I have had absolutely no problems with it since. The engine runs like a dream each time and its still perfect to ride. It has been sorned for the last 6 months but I do turn it over from time to time and no problems at all. It is certainly not in good condition cosmetically however.
Main problems:
Mismatched colouring of wheel (they were both yellow when I purchased, but didnt respray after wheel replacement post accident)
Dent in tank near crotch area as pictured from the accident
Indicator snapped off left side due to drop
I shall be MOT'ing and taxing it soon.
Due to all of the above I am only asking £1000 for it. I will tax it for 12months for you as well.
Please Pm if interested or if you have any other questions. Pics were taken last week.Bike is in Milton Keynes
