madsod 0 Posted January 5, 2012 it does sound a good bike and like all bikes when buying what would you like to pay i would say low £1,600 up to say £2,000 may be a bit more but its what you want to pay , and thats not much if we can get away with it , best of luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dick65 0 Posted January 5, 2012 i would reckon £1,700 stan can you get some pics up m8 and we'll have a look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpyowl 0 Posted January 5, 2012 I don't know but from what you describe its' got to be worth £2k and anything less it's sounds like a bargain too good to miss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chadatious 0 Posted January 5, 2012 i think its worth a swap with a bandit weith 10,000 miles and loads of extras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flange 0 Posted January 5, 2012 I've owned 24 Hornets great bikes.I used to buy them,tidy em up and sell them on.Id say with no T&T (probably just a case of taking it for one tbh).You get the newer shape 03's for £2000 with that mileage.This time of year to sell i'd pay £1200.For yourself to use £1500 ish if its nice would be a fair price for both of you.Any less and you have a bargain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steph42 0 Posted January 5, 2012 Between 12 and 1500 bucks baring in mind its been off road for 2yrs the carbs are gona need cleaned out and set up again...there's a few hundred quid in that alone bonus if you can do it yourself nice bike hornets oh and the earlier model 918 and 929 fire blade engine slots straight into the frame with virtually no mods....
