The price of the bike was good, but you'd need to factor in the price of a full respray to factory colours, and get the wheels powdercoated, so it will probably cost nearer 3 times the asking price.
Not if one happens to already have matching gear.

I'd ride that VFR as is safe in the knowledge I'd ride it whenever as I couldn't ruin it and could leave leave it wherever as no one was gonna nick it. Perfect for 400 E

Another one from
DungDeal -
It is, apparently, a 1957 BSA A7 with a Kawasaki 550 engine. And forks, by the look of it.
Only €1,850.
Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.

Hadn't seen him for a while but didn't know he'd been made into some tyres! Not sure how grippy they'd be but I'm sure they'll be reet.

Guy Martin tyres are the fastest possible but only in obscure situations nobody else has bothered with for fifty years.

Noticed Bike World on YouTube have started testing some of their bikes. Some nice examples but the prices are eye watering

They are just down the road from us and their stock is quite eye-popping. They seem to have cornered the market in Panigales. But as you say, their prices are eye-watering - 350LCs for £12k...
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

I wish I had the self-confidence to advertise that thinking someone's going to go, 'yeah, I'll buy that'.
