    Rusted and ropy.
    Dog-eared old copy.
    Vintage and classic,
    or just plain Jurassic:
    all words to describe me.

    Hmmm - that's not a standard paintjob is it?

    Anyway, faded paint, knackered mirrors, tacky indicators.... looks
    pricey to me.

    Also in Pontypool - not the easiest place to get to, depending on where
    you are.

    Can't you get a CBR6 for that kind of cash, or not a lot more?

    That would explain why it didn't sell first time round then.
    I don't really fancy a CBR though, just doesn't really appeal.

    No. As the nose shows, it used to be redder. Standard 600 paint colour
    IIRC. I looked at one when they were new but went all sensible and bought
    the VFR750FR
    there's a train service to within 2 miles or so - one of those request

    a very nasty one, probably brown or in one of the Californian shell suit

    All reds fade to pink.
    Probably just needs some T-Cut and a polish.
    I would definitely want to have a very good look before bidding though,
    it could be a complete shed.

    *Some* reds fade to pink ITYM.
    If it's faded, it's faded an no amount of T-cutting will bring the colour
    back.
    It could also be a simple case of the paint has faded, which is easily cured
    by the purchase of a few rattle cans of matte black.
