hes 18 miles from me. this is his pm he sent me when i asked for more details Basic summary is: Tax & Mot to end July 2012. Either 35k or 36k miles. Nothing needs doing to it at present as i was using it for a daily ride to/from work and it rode ok without any major issues or safety concerns. However, if money allowed and if I were to keep it, my list of jobs would include: check the front brake discs as brake lever pulsates on soft braking and it feels like a disc is warped; the paint isn't great, but looks ok from a distance; front seals do not leak, but there was slight misting on stanchion 6 months back, but it never leaked. Would still replace them at some point for peace of mind; slight cam chain rattle when cold and idling less than 1200rpm (common for most bikes); one exhaust stud has snapped and needs replacing. There is ample stud on show and I have just bought some ratchet stud removers, but no time or inclination to sort it yet as it does not blow; couple of dints on tank as I bought new tank instead of spraying the yellow one. The seller of the tank failed to wrap it suitably when posting it; One of the fans gives a whiney noise when on. I only found this out on one of my rare trips to London as my daily commute never gets the bike warm/hot being just 4 miles away! In summary, it's a £700 750cc sports bike which starts without any problems (I never use choke and let it warm up before taking it above 4k rpm) with just under 7 months MOT and tax. Good tyres, chain is fine and without tight spots, recent new oil, filter, spark plugs and K&N air filter, new mirrors and a new battery. All electrics work and fuel warning light operates as it should. I would offer to ride over to you, but my wife is in hospital and I am home with our kids (unpaid leave - hence needing some cash asap!). If I get a chance over the weekend, I will get some more pics done for you if there is anything specific you want to look at? End of the day, I am not giving up biking and will be totally honest about the bike as I will continue to use the forum, so any questions will get an honest reply. Cheers Richard
