Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
The single seat and the footrests and bars make me think he can’t get a girlfriend because he’s such a strange shape.
The writing on the seat is a bit wanky.

Love that, deffo my favourite of the crop, but I dislike the gaps in the frame where the airbox/battery etc would have been. I'd go for some infill panels if it was mine.

Lovely.
As Norvins go, that's a nice one IMO- I find most of them hideous

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Those kinda bikes don't have an airbox though.
The Bonnie has the oil tank there on one side of course. In a rare peice of good design the fake oil tank on the other side is a toolbox. Dead useful.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Gotta be honest, i think it looks alright with the gap
The thing that really looks silly to my eyes are the 1990s brake fluid reservoirs.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Don't like the VF, single sided swing arm doesn't suit it and nor does the seat. I bet it's a pig at low speed, all that weight even higher than standard.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Straight sale or trade in?
If a straight sale that's a very tight profit margin, for their sake, let's hope it doesn't go wrong in even a minor way

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
That was trade in, but was for an ex-demo '19 XSR900 @ £6999 which again i'm struggling to get near even now.Julian_Boolean wrote: ↑Tue Nov 10, 2020 3:48 pm Straight sale or trade in?

That's about the closest but mine had 300 miles on it at purchase, even that one has 3500.
There's this at £7200 but again, still certain mine is better value
