Horrible red too.

It was a factory colour 'Candy Apple Red' iirc, however the original decals were a teeny bit classier.

Fuck sake.

Now I'll be getting that ugly bastard popping up every 5 minutes.

Still interested in ZXR?

No ebay,fuck off.

Fully restored.

It's fully restored (except the rusty bits ).

Erm...



I think I've seen those pipes somewhere before...

Big problem on XJ600's is the joints between the downpipes and the silencers rotting out. I'm guessing this guy was just looking for a cheap fix with readily available parts.

Looks like it's going to be sketchy for ground clearance, but if you get that far over on a divvy you're already in trouble!

I didn't think it was possible to make a Divvy less desirable, but that guy has nailed it.

That seat is fucking horrible, wtf was he thinking?

2009 low mileage Speed Triple is worth maybe £4500. Parts to put it back to standard £2k, My labour charge £1k.

£1500 seems like a reasonable price for it

10k?

Yer man is due for a rude awakening. I think he may have made himself a bike for life!

You fooled me, I really thought it was your bike with a clever "don't buy my bike it's rubbish" negative adverts.
