These are pretty easy to ride and not vicious at all. People said that about the Tl1000 at the time and its a pussycat.

These make a great first sportsbike, easy to ride pretty fast

Good luck with the sale, it looks a tidy one

Was it the one with the auto clutch? I'm thinking about buying one if my hand's still giving me trouble.

Oh well,I was hoping for the benefit of your experience. I like the idea of the FJR, it's still a manual box with a normal foot lever, although it changes electronically. I'd prefer it to the Honda auto.

Mine was an earlier model. It was a bloody good touring bike, went around a good bit of Europe on it, happy days

Yes, got the asking price, but things may be a bit different in France. I never allow test drives unless they leave me with the full amount in cash before they ride off. I will take a prospective purchaser for a test ride, I usually scare the **** out of them

always sold as seen tested and approved with not returns on Ebay.

im surprised people havent offered you a swap for a playstation for it. Thats the sort of tossers gumtree has.

Ebay is your best bet. I sell all my bikes on there

put it on classified ad (will cost you £15) as then no one can hit buy it now and then go quiet. Dont remove the listing unless you have a deposit or its paid for.

I've sold a couple of cars on ebay and I always put em on classified

had nothing not even an offer of a snickers bar n a bag of crisps on gumtree! lol

as for test ride they will deffo only be having one of those if they leave the full amount agreed, I won't be taking anyone out on it though I don't do passengers anymore!
