Viewing a bike on Sunday - SV650.org

11-10-12, 05:47 PM

Is anyone free this Sunday and wouldn't mind coming to check out a bike with me, also get to know someone from the Org. It's a 1994 Honda CB500, looking at it because I need a Winter hack and this seemed to fit the bill plus it has engine bars already fitted. Just don't want to end up buying something thats more trouble than its worth.

Thanks.

Sorry. Bike is in Durham. I live in Killingworth.

I'm around if you need a second set

Do CB500's ever go wrong?

Honestly wouldn't know.

A second set of eyes would be appreciated.

It would be primarily a winter hack and I'm hoping I can get a multi-bike policy for not much more than I'm paying now.

At least with the engine bars if it does goes sliding down the street due to ice I can just pick it back up and carry on with minimal to no damage to the bike. Must make sure my camera is fully charged every day.

What time are we looking at. Forecast is good tomorrow, could combine viewing with an org chat/brew and ride out.
