Post updated to confirm MOT passed today and new brake seals installed in front calipers.

I had two weeks holiday and then I was sent the wrong piston seals, hence the delay in arranging the MOT.  It all passed okay - no advisories.

Had a coolant change a few weeks ago.

I just want to add that nobody has wasted my time on this.  It was my own fault it hasn't sold due to the delay in doing the work and getting the MOT

Hey Alex - thanks for your interest.

Vernier caliper says 3.5mm tread left in the centre of the rear tyre.  Only visible damage is a scrape mark on the rear caliper.

Good afternoon guys,

Just a quick introduction.  I used to frequent this amazing site, but have to admit I haven't been on here for probably 7/8 years.  I cannot adduce my account details for love nor money, and the fact that the site allowed me to register with my age-old email address suggests my account was removed due to inactivity.

I have owned this bike for nearly 12 years.  It has taken me to Rome, Barcelona, Milan, San Marino, Paris, and an array of places in between.  It is an amazing bike, but quite simply it has hardly left my garage for 5 years.  Looking back at the MOT history, I can see it's done about 1000 miles in the last 5 years.  Two reasons for this; firstly I have a 5 year old little girl and don't have the spare time to go touring, and secondly I have an R1 track bike that I use for my adrenaline hit.

I have been making excuses for years not to sell it - maybe I will go touring again, or maybe my car will break down and I need to use it for work etc.  The time has finally come to part ways.  I'm going to be very honest in my advert below so as not to waste anyone's time.

- Pearlescent black paint in great condition.  I had a low speed accident about 6/7 years ago.  No major damage, but required a respray.  Repaired myself for about £400 and no MIAFTR registration

THE BAD

- Engine paint is flaking
- This is a 15 year old bike.  It's been garaged, but it is starting to look tired.  I was tempted to overhaul it over the winter, but I spent the time on the track bike instead.  It would look amazing again if someone was to spend some time on it
- Neutral light doesn't work
- Sat Nav cradle not included
 
Bike Location :  Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham, West Midlands
 
Any Other Relevant Info :  There's a whole box full of extras which will go with the bike.  Screen, indicators, bolts, levers.  I think there is even a set of heated grips in there.  Lots of stuff.
