It's not that far from me if that's any help. I'd offer to go and look at it but I can't before next weekend at the earliest.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 6:04 pm At least I only had to drive a mile to see it.
I'm having thoughts about that Mille R again now.

Re: What bike?
I think weepy fork seals are normal for a 30 year old bike, both my FZ and my FZR weep a little.
80s GSXRs have thin paint, both of mine wore through the paint at low mileages.

Re: What bike?
I'm going to break my own rule.
I'm going to look at something with wheels in Bradford.
You should never ever buy anything with wheels from Bradford, so I'm only going to look and get some inspiration.
I'm sure Ritebike are probably a bunch of robdog bastards, but they sure have a lot of bikes... including a GSXR1100 with the worst factory paint job ever and a Gen 1 Tuono.

Re: What bike?
I purchased an Aprilia RSV Mille from Bradford, guy stored it in a Big Yellow Storage place about 10 miles from his home!

The RiteBike one? I thought it was an N. Not that it matters.

I’ll tell you now and I’ll tell you briefly,
I don’t never want to go to Keighley,

I've paid top dollar for sure, but it's in better nick than when it left the factory.

Pink is a great colour for a 90s motorcycle.
Pictures to follow.
Are you coming to Cadwell for the VMCC thing in August?

Re: What bike?
I spent more than I wanted and its not the exact colour scheme I wanted (but it is growing on me).
It's proper Weeksy clean and only 12k!, I know they're not the original fasteners, the Suzuki ones were never that shiny, but it's what I would have done to it anyways.
It's got HiSports on it, which I don't think have been made for 20 years, so it's getting new boots, a full service, MOT and the clutch blead.

Re: What bike?
I would have preferred an M in blue and white, but this was too mint to pass.
I could always paint it, it's the only difference between the two.

Re: What bike?
I almost bought this as it was equally mint (but three times the miles).

But 750's are for the gays. Real men ride 1100's.

Re: What bike?
Just spotted that it's got the 6 Pot Tokico's off the later model rather than the four pot Nissin's it should have. I've no idea if that is good or bad.
