Well it's finally got to go, my much loved CBR600 Sport (1). Herewith the spiel - you can skip to the end if you want ... One Burd owner from new, presented in completely standard condition, just as it came out of the showroom: Registered September 2001 15700 miles Black and red with yellow and white graphics Brand new tyres (Dunlop 207s) not even scrubbed in Brand new chain and sprockets 12 months MOT 6 months tax Standard can Just had 16000 miles service Also available at extra cost: Black double bubble Piagi screen Black Pyramid Plastics hugger Akrapovic Ti race can Spare (less than perfect) plastics Baglux tank cover Many of you know this bike (yes, you've watched my arse along the road, I know you know) and know that I have looked after it carefully, (the blimmin' bike, not my blimmin' arse, OK) that it is always clean and has never been crashed (as such ;-)), raced or even done a track day. Yes, it has been on its side twice (once each side) but both times were while stationary. No great damage was caused and it was put right properly (by Bob King in Bedford and then by Flitwick Motorcycles) at the expense of the TP insurers both times. The bike is in immaculate condition and carries its miles very lightly. Bar one small stonechip/scratch to the headlight lens, there is no visible defect. The downpipes and very adjacent radiator fan housing carry some light corrosion, but that's it. There is a faint aroma of Mer about it and even a lingering whiff of the chamois leather, which has stood the finish in very good stead. It rides delightfully (for a 600 ;-)) and is very comfy and easy to ride around town, ripping up the road or to do distance. It does everything remarkably competently, as a highly-developed Honda should - it even has a tiny bit of character, which is allegedly unusual for an 'Onda. Uzi is *my* bike, has served me very well and I have done my very best to keep her in prime condition as you can see from the current photos which can be found here: http://www.garagepixies.co.uk/cbr600_f1_sport.htm I have to sell her to fund the purchase of the ZX-9R and I will miss her. You can give Uzi a good home for only £4000. I'm offering Uzi here first at a uk.r.m. friendly price as I feel she may be more appreciated by one of you 'orrible lot - or one of your little friends, perhaps... If you're interested, mail me and we can arrange viewing, test ride(2) or even delivery COD if you're that keen (not you UKRMMA, before you start). Make it soonish though, as the local paper, MCN and eBay all stand in the wings. (1) I love the 9R more! (2) Test ride only with 4K in cash in my hand, tyvm. -- Elly - a sneezy Pixie ZX9R-E1 - 'The bike made me do it!'

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Elly For those of you who have not seen Uzi, I will happily stand witness that it's very, very, very tidy.

I presume this ... http://www.garagepixies.co.uk/IMG_0211.JPG is this ... rather than this ... Never has a bike *needed* an aftermarket can more desperately, if only for aesthetic reasons. It looks about 18" too long. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C |_\_____/_| ..67055../..16127.../..3180./.19406 (>|_|_|<) TPPFATUICG#7 DIAABTCOD#9 YTC#4 PM#5 |__|_|__| BOTAFOT #70 BOTAFOF #09 two#11 WG* \ |^| / IbW#0 & KotIbW# BotTOS#6 GP#4 \|^|/ ANORAK#17 '^' RBR-Visited:43 Pts: 870 Miles:3116
Salad Dodger says... I said exactly that to Elly earlier. I have a feeling that's half the reason the Akrapovic went on in the first place.

Now there's an idea, I'll go and and have a fossick in the drawers to see what I've got.
