WTB: Winter hack

How much do you want for it? One of the idiots going away for a winter
trip might be interested if it's cheap enough.

 

Too much ;-)

 

Yeah, I didn't read the whole thread before posting.

That's a substantial amount too much for what sound like a bit of a
tatty example.

 

Yep, they are cheap as shit new.

I'd have expected to pay about £800 for a bike in that condition and
at that price someone else might have been interested but for £1400 I
can't see it happening.

 

Well it seems to be about what they are going for after a quick Google.

 

yes - it's a soft trailie thing fitted with a variant of the GPZ500
parallel twin. Should be pretty reliable and use readily available
consumables from the ER/GPZ siblings.

They never sold very well as things like the F650 & Transalp [1] are much
better for those that actually want a dual purpose bike. As a ratshit
commuter, the bike would be ideal.

[1] as Mr Pies has just bought, which is what I recommended to him in 2005

 

As optimistic as the owner of ebay item 170380015426

 

Fucking hell, it's also misdescribed as 'new' Mong.

If it were £500 cheaper.

there is that - was it him that was trying to flog that Varadildo for about
5 years, or is there another dreamer from Mid Wales with a name starting
with E?

 

You want the K, don't you? ;-)

 

Some people really like a laugh, don't they?

17,000 miles and still new.

that's a very restrained colour scheme for a KLE

 

Hi fella, the price is just too high.

I could go to £800 cash.

I found myself looking at 125cc scooters this morning.

Any shame is tempered somewhat by the memory of how much fun I had
crashing a 50cc scooter when I was a pizza boy, back in the day.

 

FFS Nige, there's a big difference between pushing for a bargain &
taking the piss!
