Just been round to see a mate who has one languishing in his garage, under boxes, canoe's and a lawnmower. Last used properly 3 years ago, last started about 15 months ago when it went for MOT. The battery has been on an optimate the whole time, but I advised him against starting it up.
Anyway, he wants rid of it, £500 with a pleading look in his eye.
Anyone had one? Its a bit of a monster, I already have 3 bikes in the garage that I cant find time to ride, so I'm not going to bite his hand off - though sitting astride it I felt calm and relaxed, unlike the SV, where I just feel uncomfortable.
If its a bargain not to be missed, I'll get back round there, if not, I'll wait and see if he calls me..
