A few dents and sctratches, need to change the riders seat to a standard one and give it a good service.

But all in all a good buy for £1200 (Trade) Mike beat him down from £1299.

Well spotted by me!!
Well done to you both! It must look raised compared to my bike, since i have the rack. I'd expect the forks need some painting and probably a change of fork oil? Whats wrong with the brakes?

Brakes are a little scary!!! Need a good going over.

The forks just need uprated oil for now but will need progressive springs soon.


EDIT: The brakes are not a little scary, they're really scary!!!

I'm trying to ignore all of this chatter about the brakes - obviously i need to listen to the advise given however they seem to stop me fine - i can't wait to try out REAL sv brakes !!!!

It is however always in the back of my mind - and on my ride today i noticed I was leaving huuuuuuggggggeeeeeee distances between me and the vehicle in front - better safe than sorry i guess
