Have to agree. None of my business I know, but it likely costs next to nowt to keep tax/insurance wise/run/easy to handle. I've a feeling that when the warm sun hits your face one day in spring, it'll trigger something inside. Maybe only a few miles trip to see a mate, a ride to the shops, or an evening at the local bike meet.
Tommy, I am approaching my 71st and, since I ended up in hospital last January,I managed to get out & enjoy the Tracer and the Honda C90(actual 110cc)last summer/autumn.
When the time comes,which it will, I shall be sad to see the Tracer go but will keep the C90 as it is hardly heavier than an old fashioned bicycle.
I have a friend who until a few years ago rode some big powerful machines but failing health and stamina have taken their toll but he still enjoys riding his monkey bikes and old British autocycles. Think hard before getting rid of the cub it isnt much to tax & MOT. Good luck whatever you decide!

Dave & all the others who have offered advice about selling the C90. I did advertise it again on eBay, and had 2238 page views and 59 people watching it, but not one bid. :'( or should that be :thumbup
I have had a few sniffs from eBay buyers since the auction ended, wanting to do a deal outside of eBay and also wanting me to almost give it to them.
I paid £200 for the bike when I found it in the shed and spent between £700-£750 so it stand me for about 900 quid and I have twats offering me £300 for it, :eek you can likely guess my response.
Have definitely decide the 2003 FZS600 Foxeye has to go, the Mrs is calling me a mug for selling it, she enjoys the occasional blast on the back, but know your limitations.
As advised by a number of you, I have decided to keep the Chicken Chaser and do the re-bore which I should have done during the rebuild, as she puffs a bit of blue on the over-run. [size=78%] [/size]

Hey Dave,
What did you do to your C90 to up the cc to 110? did you fit one of the Korean barrel and piston kits? How did it go and what was the quality like.
(Heard tales some of them are crap quality)
My next job to get the Chicken Chaser re-bored.
I have a biker that has shown some interested in the FZS600 and is coming to look at it in a couple of days. Mrs thinks I am mad for trying to sell it, but there comes a time for all things, I will be sad to see it go, just hope that whoever buys it looks after it, like I do/did.
Be interested in knowing about your C 90 upgrade to 110 cc, and what difference to performance did it make.
My C 90 is the Economy Cub, I believe it is lower geared than some cubs as it is set up for city riding, quicker of the mark from lights and junctions but lower top speed, so I might up the gearing by two more notches on the front sprocket.
Spending some quality time with my little baby FZS600.
Can someone please tell me what this little do-icky is on the back of the front mudguard?
Seen it so many times but today it just got me wondering WTF is it for.

This is part number YZ624p tyre cleaner,it connects to a reservoir on the fork stantion which holds a solution which squirts intermittently onto the tyre,this is especially useful on greasy roads.
never look down on anyone unless you're helping them up.

Or on most bikes with cable driven speedo it contains a rubber guide for the cable to stop it rubbing on the mudguard.
Many thanks Trebus make sence.
I bought 25 of the part number that coffee mentioned (YZ624p) and not one of them will fit. :finger
I do though have a very wet front tyre and a big puddle on the patio. :lol
I am pleased with the price and so is the purchaser, and I know he will look after the bike as I did. he is collecting it in a few days.
I took the bike for a MOT this afternoon (A-Force Motorcycles of Aldershot) she passed with flying colours, as I expected, with no advisories. :thumbup
It was the first time I have ridden the Fazer since October, and now I remember why I love the FZS600 :eek
A quick plug for A-Force Motorcycles (01252 334151) great guys Alex & Darren, I rang them up at 12-30pm and it was MOT tested by 2-45pm, these guys know about customer service.
Anyway the new owner is a 'Foccer' and I will let him make himself known should he so choose.
I myself am a Honda C90 owner now and not expecting to get anywhere in a hurry. :lol
Yep! I will hang around for a while, as I am not sure what I would do without the checks and balances and unbiased views of people like VNA :lol :lol :lol
Found a C90 club so I have somewhere to go and piss them off, give you guys a break.

I only bought one and couldn't get the ratio of liquid right and kept falling off,it was particularly hard on black ice or greasy conditions,I'm thinking of taking it off when I'm discharged.
