May have sold the Triple and getting a MT07

Post by formula400 »

I have had the street triple up for sale for a few week’s and had someone put in a offer, I accepted it,I am going to put a fresh MOT on it in the morning as it runs out in 2 weeks, hopefully he comes and takes it away.
Basically I need something that I don’t mind using quite a bit for commuting, I find the triple is to wide and I like it to much and would hate to see it run into the ground. So I thought an MT07 would be fun, smaller, lighter, and it’s meant to be quite fun. I rode one a few years ago and liked it. (Was looking at the KTM 390’s) but feel they are quite tasty and draw attention being in a parking bay all day.

Found a nice one in Wigan, 200 miles from me 😂😂😂
He’s accepted an offer of £4300, it’s got 4k miles, 2 service stamps, 1 owner and the akro. Being cautious though as the husky I bought blind was a dog. He is sending me pictures tomorrow as Facebook does not seem to enlarge the pictures very well.

Quite excited.

I must admit as a real world thrasher bike, the MT07/XSR700 seem right up there in terms of practicality and value for money.

Yeah they get great write ups, quite cheap, also people complain about the suspension but that seems to be improved with a replacement. Other than that it’s god to go.

Cheers, I like the idea of one but not right now, can see something like that getting nicked quite easily. plus the parking bays are quite unkind, people don't care when they ram bikes in.

ill post a pic if I get it, pretty much there, all its missing is a tail tidy, plus its cheap so leaves me enough to get a K-tech rear shock fitted for it. its the grey with the yellow wheels, I wanted an all black one, but for the price and milage I think its silly to let it go.
