Sold my bike... UPDATE

[tubthumper 0]

Well the bike sold in the end for £1,200...

Does the forum think this was a good price, or could i have fetched more than that?

Cheers

To be honest Josh i would have been happy with that, considering i only paid £1700 for me B12, what you after now by the way onwards and upwards

[BanditMike 0]

Same here. For a 600 it's a fair price, I think you'd have struggled to get anything more for it. Next?

[XS1100 0]

[fr499y 0]

[Chadatious 0]

I haven't, however i stated in the eBay listing that the bodywork/fairing has been modified, so shouldnt be any problems there...

[fr499y 0]

good good! aslong as you got something in there to say its been changed then all is good you gotta watch it with people on ebay thats all, a lot will try and drop you when they see it, even over the tiniest scratch.

[lee1 1]

seems fair enough price to me

[trebor4460 0]

Fair enough, specialy this time of year.

Bloke came to pick up the bike this evening, paid me the £1,200 cash.

Proper nice bloke, looked like he'd look after her, but was still sorry to watch it go off in the back of a van...

Anyways, onwards and upwards - dead excited to pick up the TL at the end of the week

[fr499y 0]

[Davehutch-hutchs 0]

Bet your well excited Josh

[Chadatious 0]

hhh gone for the S. looks really tidy that. imo the s looks better, the R is over the top in me opinion. id like to turn a tl naked go with a buell theme lol

[Gazman 0]

Really like the look of that Josh, Looks very cool in white. Good luck mate and go steady. Gaz.

[dick65 0]

well tidy josh,just take it easy out there m8

[tubthumper 0]

Yes mate im well excited! Apprehensive though - hope i get on with riding a twin. I'd never ridden the Bandit before i bought it so im sure i'll adapt as i did before!

Yeah Chad, the R is just lardy and heavy, too much plastic and i like to see the engine. The bike has had a brand new paint job, £500 Bitubo rear shock, alarm, new cans, good tyres - it's totally sorted!!

Oh and it's only done 15k and will cost me under £2k

And Matt - when you let me ride your Z1000.... :P

[fr499y 0]

DOH!

[Stue11 0]

I love it mate fairplay shes a beaut im loving the paint job and twin art race canes, she will sound amazing for sure...i do love the sound of a good v-twin cheers Josh go steady bro

[tubthumper 0]

Yeah Stu i love the pearl white. Only plans are Chrome Suzuki badges on the tank, then small red TL1000s and Suzuki stickers on the front fairing and belly pan. And some Buell pegs to give me a bit more legroom for my longshanks lol!

Cheers for the concern all, don't worry i will go carefull im aware this bike is extremly powerful and will treat it with plenty of respect!

Yes mate, MT-01 lol going for a test ride on sat hehe, the drop in HP is a lot, but almost twice the torque of the zed will make up for it!

*edit* no the zed ent going lol

Good good! cant beat the sound of a twin! you will love it, but like everyones said alright, just be extra careful with that right hand, cause the torque will be insane lol
