FOR SALE - FZS1000 2004 - Mint and only 3929 miles

[Iceman]

Some of you may remember this bike came up for sale in Glasgow last year, courtesy of big bluebear on behalf of his neighbour who had it from new.  I managed to secure the bike, but only after paying a bit more than the advertised price(!), and have done 1200 miles or so since then.  Long story short, I do quite a lot of long distance commuting and had hoped the bike would fit the bill, however it's lack of protection (even with an aftermarket screen) means it doesn't.  So, reluctantly, it's up for sale with an asking price of £3550.  Relevant details are as follows:


2004 "54" plate
Storm Silver, black engine/frame/swinging arm
2 owners from new
3929 miles (bike not in use so mileage won't change)
Datatagged
Yamaha OE crash bungs
Ivan's slip-on carb modification
Puig hugger (brand new)
Otherwise standard
2 keys, owners manual, service handbook and datatag bumf present
EXUP valve overhauled and Avon Storm STs fitted on purchase @ 2781 miles
Engine service and carbs balanced @ 3200 miles
MOT due 22 Jul 16


As you can see from the pictures the bike is in outstanding condition.  The previous owner must have had shares in Waxoyl as most metal parts have had a coating at some time or other so it's been well preserved!  The bike is in Pembrokeshire, South West Wales.


If anyone is interested please PM me with your contact details and thanks for looking.

Thanks for your support Downey and Noggy.  I'd like to see it go to a forum member if poss, I'll still be on here though as we have an early 600.  I'll keep an eye out for your TRX Noggy!


Forgot to mention Haynes manual included and pick up from the local railway station (Haverfordwest) isn't a problem.

What a great bike for someone. It's always the way, after looking for ages for a minter I bought mine bog standard. Now in the last two days a couple of excellent bikes with useful modifications have become available. C'est la vie. Good luck with your sale that won't hang about long.

Red, a '99 on a T plate.  And thanks Robbo, hope you enjoy your bike.

What a beauty.  I can't believe you don't like it for distance work. How far do you commute?

Hi Fireblake,


It varies, but usually between 170-400miles, each way; a few times a month.


Anyway the bike was sold today, no interest from this site and a few enquiries from Gumtree, but ended up going to a friend.  The bike now lives just down the road in St Davids, so at least I can keep tabs on it!
