In case 6 potters are your thing.

Isn't that a tad pricey for an "SOB"?

 

Someone at work is selling a CBX 1000, a reg, T&T 43K miles new
tyres/exhausts for £2500 based in Cheshire. As they are the sort of SOB
that someone on here is probably likley to be interested in and they don't
pop up that often I thought I'd post it up.

 

Doesn't seem wrong, not that its cheap or VFM, as the 6-cyl CBX are a
little beyond SOB territory. Bona fide classics. Apparently.

 

Arrggh! Want Want Want!!!

On the subject of unusual bikes , Streetbike had an A-reg RD500 with under
10k miles in what looked near mint condition for £5.5k today.
Is that a fairly typical price for something like that or are they taking
the piss?

Taking the piss, mightily. I wouldn't pay that much for a second rate
500 stroker, the Gamma was always the better bike.

 

They're taking the piss. 2-2.5K for a average one and maybe 4K for a
superb minter with the ally frame.

 

Thought it sounded high , although thats no great surprise from there.
Streetbike's prices for mainstream stuff like bandits seem fair enough but
for anything odd they seem to just think of a number and double it.

I'll fight you for it.

Now, who wants a KH500 and TS250?

There's a brand new never been ridden one, but registered in 1978 in
Lowestoft. Michael Cooper of John Cooper Garages in Ferring near
Worthing has an immaculate low mileage silver one in his showroom as
well.

*dribble*

That's almost enough to make me want to take my bike test that is...

... or even learn to ride one of the bloody things properly

Fortunately <TWITCH>, the only person <TWITCH> that could concievably
<TWITCH> be interested in such a pile of <TWITCH> shit, is currently
<TWITCH> out of the country and is thus
<TWITCHTWITCHTWITCHTWITCHTWITCHTWITCHTWITCH> unable to respond.

Thanks. <TWITCHTWITCHTWITCH>

 

In purple metalflake?

With Denco pipes?

<muuuuust resist>

But, I'd get more than 50 miles a year out of a four stroke, wouldn't
I?

One of only 2 bikes that ever looked right in purple, the other being
the FS1E.

 

What about a Laser exhaust?
