Eighteen hundred quid? The man's aff his heid. -- Dave "I'm sorry I wasn't in when you came round," said the comaphiliac. GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19
Pip was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever: Easy. It's the one that doesn't leak oil... Interestingly enough it appears to be advertised in this months' CBG as well. For the paltry sum of 1500 squids...
I tested one a few years ago. Lovely engine, light throttle thanks to FI, superb economy due to ditto, handled and stopped well.... Downers - bloody awful seat (Corbin replacement a must) and bloody awful and awkward gearchange. But yeah, I really, really liked it.
TBH I don't know the model changes on the recent bikes but I think FI is around 90/91. For that kind of money you could get a *very* nice Cali I/II/III 850/1000cc and be able to afford pistons and head work (which is the main Le Manification). Classic insurance, 'proper' bike looks, a real mile eater, reliable without the worry of depreciation.
thats 1800 quid to start the bidding and its not even reached his "low reserve" ??? ) -- Steve Parry http://www.gwynfryn.co.uk http://wrexhamseals.tripod.com
'struth. I'd not give 1800 pence for it. and why, FFS, rebuild the engine to 500cc, thereby making the insurance more expensive (if yer honest enough to admit it)? must go all of about 2 mph faster as a result.
He's mad. 1800 quid opening bid? (If I was buying a small/medium sized Jap custom or cruiser, I'd head for a Yamaha XV535. Lovely bikes, they are.)
I think it was on Sat, 10 Jan 2004 10:27:59 +0000 that (The Older Gentleman) announced to the world: Can't disagree there <G> -- Rob Broseley, Shropshire 1991 Yamaha XV 535 Virago 1988 Saab 900i
Mmm, that's quite old for a mile muncher. So if one plumps for the newish version is the injection reliable? and is it part of any restriction mechanism.
Odd, cos the smaller z400 parallel twin was lovely and smooth with its balance shaft.[/QUOTE] And it still is.
