Picked this up for my son yesterday and arrived home late last night. He is thrilled as it will be the first bike he has bought and have in his own name.
I think he rides to fast and after a month of searching I found a slow Blue one for him
with 10298 miles and all MOT certs to validate the mileage. We drove 320 miles to look at it and another 320 back with it.
Paid £1900, not cheap but good value considering condition and mileage.
Taxed until October 2014 and MOT valid until April 2015, New Bridgestone BT023 tyres. It has some very small scratches from Bungee cords on the decals of the tail piece on both sides, a small piece broken on the belly pan and on the hugger (from overtightened screws) easily fixed. Someone fitted beam deflectors to the inside of the headlamps and they need to be removed as they are burned (not fitted properly) and one has damaged the reflector, Another easy fix as I have a reflector from a broken unit. New cheapo battery (Blue Label) but I have a 1 year old spare Yuasa which I bought for the 400 only to discover the Solonoid switch was causing the slow starting not the battery. F1 International Restrictor kit included which was on the bike for 4 years from 2006 to 2010.
aven't told him yet that the blue ones are the slowest
Next job is to fix the small issues, fit a Meta Alarm and Givi Rack.
