Back in the game
« on: 05 February 2015, 04:37:32 pm »
2 years off the bike recovering after accident, looking at an fz1 with fairing from a steeler . Anything I need to think off when looking it over. Its got 11k on the clock. They want 4.9k , does that sound good?

Depends on the age ..and of course affordability, a few hundred up or down is not much to worry about,


there is a bargain 08 plate for £2,800 on the facebook forum 37000 miles


But if you buy a 11000 miler then it should be like new and a keeper. mine three years ago was a 57 with 6000 on for £4200.00


I love it,i have done some of the mods we do but the fuelling will be sorted on a newer model so should be quite good when you get it.

It's on an 09 plate, with a Bos exhaust.

Very Nice! Need to find out if I can actually ride a bike before I go an splash any cash. The mind is willing but I am not too sure about the body. Have you lowered the front on that? What sort of BHP does she push out now?
