It's ready and waiting for him. Just in case he decides he wan't to sell it. ;)
I'm not sure he's the sort of person who'd sell a bike after 3 days
2 days maybe ;)

Several people have already said they’ll have it off me, have I got some sort of reputation ?

Anyway there’s a new set of pilot road 5’s here to go on it then I’ll go through it and check everything. Anything none standard is coming off it too as I don’t needs all the extra bars and luggage 👍

I will make special price, make special price!

And I don't meant all those things I say about electricians. I just like winding Iccy up. :D


Anyway, on the off chance you do decide to sell it, I'd be delighted to buy it*. I'd even collect it!




*unless I've bought something else by then.

Don't sell it to The Pony, he HATES sparkies.

Sell it to me, so I can sell it to The Pony and make a tidy profit.

How much is special price ? Is it £3400 cos that’s what it will be with new tyres on in a few hours/days/weeks Not that it’s for sale I’m quite attached to it 👍🤣

Looking at prices I think it's worth that.

That said, I'd prefer one with off road tyres and the pannier rails still there. But do let me know if you want to move it on. I am as fickle as you however. While looking at prices I saw this and really like the idea of it:

Almost the same as my 2006 model but with 30k more miles 😁 What's that box on the inside of the pannier rails for?

Has it been Hilltop-ed?
You will of course know whether it has the instant you touch that throttle, and if it hasn't, I'd get it down there pronto if I were you-, they are their specialty and I think Geoffrey can add at least a gazillion HP and torques to these, he apparantley stops the engine exploding too just by strapping it to his dyno and talking complete bollocks to anyone who'll listen for 30 mins or so. :thumbup:

And it should probably maybe make winning novice group a breeze I reckon ( not that you'll keep it long enough to find out of course :D )

Anyway, enough of this slightly-ancient-adventure-bike before your time bollocks- you got your R7 order in yet? ;)

More of a look round it today. Rode it round the yard and made brum brum noises as it’s very quiet, although we saw it does have a cat removal y piece in. The exhaust man in the yard will make me a can for it so that’s one job sorted. Went through the paperwork and it wasn’t serviced too long ago. Had 3 offers and all turned down !

Looks to be an after market tool box which fits on to the pannier frame and in between bike and said pannier frame.

Do it. I bought a 2009 model earlier this year, wish I'd bought one years ago.

I might have a race can for one kicking about in one of the sheds , let me look in daylight as i cant remember if its in a box of bits or i gave it away already .....with the decat Y piece in and a race can they are noisy as fuck and i was self concious riding it in built up areas as EVERYONE looks (think
125 learner bike with an open Arrow pipe but noisier) .....i took the race can off and left the standard can on as the Y piece allows more noise

Very nice, on the basis you’ve said it’s a keeper… how much do you want for it? 😂
