Indeed, I have taken the decision to move the old girl on - one I have agonised over long and hard but I have had my fun and have some fond memories. It's time for someone else to take guardianship, maybe even take it to a show...

Still one of the prettiest bikes Honda ever made, imho. A few pictures for your consideration.....

@2xtwins that looks stunning Kev.
Can’t believe you’ve bailed on Pembrey, was looking forward to seeing the mighty Niken in action again.

Not that I can afford it, but how much are you expecting?

In a couple of years (maybe one depending on reg date) it will be TAX and MOT exempt too.

As much as possible, is the right answer.......

Obviously, I have set a reserve which the auction site has agreed is reasonable but, for reference, a similar RD sold at Silverstone Auctions in May for north of £23k + fees....

Hi, Paul.

Yeah, sorry, but I was only going to do the Friday so it is what it is. I've already started discussions with @Tricky re another day. Possibly Cadwell or Snetterton, maybe even Lydden, but I want to do another one just to see how the Pirellis compare to the OEM Bridgestones.

Still, back to show ponies rather than my three-legged donkey, eh :lol: .

Mate has an RC30 in the dining room/office but it gets ridden as well, he went to the TT on it this year. There is also a RD500 in the conservatory and an RG500 in the garage next to a GT750. Any of them would do.
