Was that the one with the Bike-related Ebay items on one of the first few pages?
If it's the one with Honda Rebel Puncture kit, it didn't sell, despite having 10 watchers. I'm sure everyone was wondering about that one. |

One of the comments was "It's really hard to service one unless you totally strip it". WTF?

Read the article...nothing new as such.
Some quotes caught my eye. The onyerbike guy said the SV was old news and the Er6 was the new kid  He also said a 88,000 miler came in with the engine still sweet, although the rest of the bike was for the scrapper. |
