Special one for sale
« on: 12 June 2013, 07:37:19 pm »
no, not Jose!
My Fzs1000
rough spec is
2003 Fzs1000 (27150 miles)
R1 5JJ front end with 5PW yokes
R6 rear shock
aeroblade screen
renthals 758!!
spazzo type shorty levers
ivanised
quill exhaust & standard pipe
genuine yamaha belly pan
hugger
one off footrest risers (back 40mm up 15mm)
givi top rack and wingrack
HID lights
new battery
stainless engine bolts
led front blinkers
Genuine toolkit
passenger grab handles (not on bike atm, the rack is)
just had new pads and tyres 2500 miles ago (2 weeks ago), valves, oil and filters, plugs done at 24300

exup valve serviced every 6 months, suspension linkage bearings changed when i first bought the bike and greased every winter since.

basically it's had every sensible mod going!

it's not immaculate, in fact one could be cruel and say it's a little rough around the edges (engine corrosion, some bolts etc)

will have 13 months test and 4 months tax

what will this cost you.............

£2499.

haven't posted any piccies yet as i haven't cleaned her properly after the italian job, but happy to send some dirty photos over.

swmbo has said SHE needs something more comfortable, so it's get rid of the bike or the misses!

Oh, and you wouldn't want to swap the Ivanised carbs for standard ones before it goes to a new home, would you?  :D

Now that's a gorgeous, well sorted Gen1 :thumbup . Could you not just buy a big comfy seat and a set of lower pegs for the missus?
Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!

Lovely looking Gen 1 and someone is going to be very happy with that spec for really silly money-Don't think it will hang around long! Just parted with mine but its gone to a real enthusiast and I am now the happy owner of his immaculate FZS 600 Foxeye. Didn't want to say goodbye to "Big Red" but I needed to downsize due to health/stamina issues. PS Sun shining now so get some glossy pics up! Good luck. :lol

I'm just so tempted to go to the bank and get another loan, even if it means I wouldn't be able to afford to ride at all for a couple of years! Someone's gotta have the readies for this one, surely?

Hi, where are you or, more importantly, where is the bike?

this bike is worth travelling for. ive been fortunate enough to ride it, the geometry and r1 front conversion is well thought out to say the least..as you would expect from an ex tt spannerman(sorry mate but someones gotta blow your trumpet if you wont  ;) ) it seriously handles like a comfy fireblade, and has the feel of a well set up track bike. if anybody is after a genuine improvement on an already brilliant bike, buy this. its a blinder, and a pukka street sleeper. no bling, just a really good real world bike, that will slaughter most that it comes across unless the riders are very handy. its honestly that good
