Second attempt. Is that Better, not broken any advertising laws?





Believe it or not this was my first road bike, passed my bike test in 2011 and bought this. I looked at a few before settling on this one, She was wheeled out of the garage and after checking her out, had to have her. She is in good nick and looks like she has been kept in a garage for most of her life, whilst I have had her she has always been in mine. I am an engineer and have maintained her to high standard, service every year etc.
The only thing that let her down where the forks, so after a few months I decided to change the forks out for some GSXR 750 WN 1992 up side down forks. These when in good condition and only needed a polish to make nice. Headstock bearings where changed whilst they where out, high quality ones where used.
She has also been treated to dynojet carb tune with proper K&N filters, other restrict flow and drop power. Because this has been done you can easily clean filters and access the carbs.
She also had a new set of sprokets and chain few months after I got her, tyres brakes are good and should pass through next MOT no problem.
She also has WIRTZ Fat motocross bars installed, which are quite wide, I preferred them, gives you more leverage.
She also has a rear hugger which I have taken off to make it easier to clean that will come with her.
I am selling because I want an Enduro bike to try and have a go at some Greenlaning when I can. I can't keep both because the garage is full off kids bikes and wife’s treadmill (Which never gets used).
I will seriously be Sad to see her go, hopefully new owner will give me first refusal if they decide to sell on.
She is not going for less than the advert.

bandit looks sweet mate,when you get a enduro bike make sure its got an electric boot because after a good day on the lanes kicking a hot bike is fooking knackering after all your many offs(there will be many)**** wet through and covered is mud.good luck with the sale
 
Cheers Clarkie, I know what you mean.

I had a few bikes off-road before I got my bike licence. Worst for kicking was a gerelli (dont think I spelt it right) 323. No decompression lever. Kick back many times, knee has never been the same since. Was thinking of a Honda xr600 no e start though?

Just looking forward to getting on the lanes with a bike.

Nice bike mate:cool:. Im moving house in a few weeks or would have been interested.:(:( You shouldnt have too much trouble shifting her on. Good luck. :)
 
Had this been a few weeks ago I'd have had her. Have an 06 plate Aprilia RSVR 1000 but also want a Bandit to take the lad out on. Skint at mo as just spent £600 on welding the disco! Good luck, she is nice!

Complete strip rebuild, new bearings in everything (Quality ones too) , wheels Hope Big uns (Best design for a hub ever, (copies off proper motorcross/bike hubs, My opinion)
Hope Brakes, twin pots. 203mm rotor front 180 back. Marzochi drop offs (New oil) Rear shock stripped and serviced, nukeproof spring for 16 stone lump.

FSA head bearings, Truvativ Hussafelt crank, etc. OLD but built like a brick S$%t house, heavy mind you.

You Interested?

I use it more than I do the bike and range rover. Zero fuel cost?

Yep, there are always things you regret selling, but at the time it seems like a good idea.

Opel Manta GTE Exclusive, got nothing for it in PX, It probably ended up getting crushed, don't like thinking about it.

There is a bike on ebay I would have liked but it ends tonight and thats the cut off point.

I am really temped to put a single swing arm on the back with a Car wheel. Going to try and subtly do it without ruining the style, if its possible.
 
As soon as we get some nice days I will probably regret selling.

I can guarantee that! Took my bike out yesterday and sunny but a bit chilly. Still, made me realise how lost I would be without the bike - awesome fun!
 
Got rid of mine a couple of years ago and still miss it and I keep looking for another but I know it wont get the use it deserves.
Got arthritis in my right wrist and it goes numb after about 10 mins so not much point getting another dosnt stop me wanting one.
 
first rule of owning a bike is, Never sell a bike unless you have its replacement already !

I have sold my RSV Mille to fund the landrover.. Still have the r1's and the ninja, but nothing like a dirty great twin.

See how the off roading goes this year and see where me money is going and where the fun is coming from.. :cool:

Have Sent the link to this bike to one of my staff who wants one.

Tough call that - love my RSVR and my Disco for different reasons but would hate to get rid of either.
