Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I now have someone who is interested in buying it, but am having second thoughts. It's one more bike than I need, but it's so nicely set up now and has got bits on I'd be unlikley to get again. I really like the look of it too. Bot a reason on it's own to keep it but... Everything seems to be shooting up in price still too. GSXR750s are now asking over £5k for 2006 to 2010 models?! What is going on? Maybe I should keep this ZX6r? Help in the form of rational logic would be much appreciated

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
How often would you actually ride it? I'd like a stable full of bikes but then my sensible head reminds me that I don't use the Honda enough so when would I find time to ride another. Doesn't stop me looking at bikes on eBay though!

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Adam, do you need the cash it would free up / space in the (insert wherever it is kept)?
If the answer is yes, then sell it. For what could be a great price if everything is over priced at the moment. If the answer is no, then keep it until you do. Simples really.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Rational logic with a bike purchase? I admire your optimism.
My experience is that whatever decision I make, I will regret later. Plan A: Let circumstances force a decision on you and then you feel better by having someone/something else to blame. Plan B: Buy a barn and just keep buying bikes...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Most people regret what they didn't do a lot more than what they did do...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Cheers all. I know what I need to do. I like looking at it, but that's not a good reason to hold on to it. I do need space and the money for other bikes. Not to mention the time to actually ride.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Today was an oil & filter change on the bike. Looking at my service history it's taken since September to do 5k! About twice as long as i would normally do, under normal world wide conditions.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Finally got round to assembling the skylift.
Oil and filter change, fuel pump filter changed, brakes cleaned, chain cleaned and lubed and bike deep cleaned ready for MOT hoping to get it booked in this week. The SV is going to be painted and at nearly 20k will need valve clearances done so its likely not to make it on the road this year All in all a productive day. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk |
