did send them a query form from the ad saying price a bit steep (nostalgia is a dangerous thing!) asking if they were open to offers but no reply or call back, just as well. At the end of the day 20yrs old and not exactly a sought after model by any means, still........

When Carnnle MK were knocking out the 900 S2 I bought one.
Ok not as good as the ZZR it replaced but two up it was a good tourer.
The front brakes were poor then so what they are going to be like now!!!
Rubber mounted bars felt odd.
Still go the givi wing rack for it, and a replacement tank pad!!

Been 2 months since my last post on the RF600.

Originally asking £1850

Re-appeared last week at £1695 and I offered £1200.

Knocked back but was offered it for £1400 and now £1375.

Basically it's a 98 R plate. 5800 miles, immaculate.

On doing a VOSA check there is NO MOT history so the bike had been off road some years, at least since 2005 when MOT's started being stored by VOSA.

Buyer got the bike from Roy Jervis and it all seems ok.

Anyone have any experience with this dealer??

My only worry is that being stood for so long, what kind of condition are the seals going to be in etc. My last bike (Virago) needed fork seals as it had also been stood.

I won't budge from my £1200 offer but am wondering if this is too much?
