Suzuki RF900R, 1997, 99,xxx KM

Pros;
Never been crashed.
Complete Fairing (all i've done is wipe it with a wet rag and it's cleaned up really well...)
Near new Prielli Angel GTs (F/R)
Rego on Hold.
No fork leaks.
Near new battery.
All electrics work, including Radiator fan.
Runs well when warm (see below)

Cons;
Sometimes runs on 3 cylinders, seems to be after getting super wet or sitting for too long without a good blowout (as noted, when it's warm it runs as you would expect, very fast...)
It was sitting in a garage for the last year, I've recently pulled it out and gotten it going but it would suit someone who had the time to give it a good going over. Valve check etc.
Needs oil + filter.
Need new mirror stalks (see pics)
The stick-on tank protectors are manky and would look much better peeled off and replaced :)

Summary;
Bike runs well when it's running well. If you spent a couple of weekends and took your time you could have a very reliable tourer.

As it stands I would get to know it's foibles before straying too far from home - saying that - all I had to do was idle it for 15 mins, let it come to temp and it was humming.

Notes;
Cash in hand (or keys to your car) before test ride.
I can assist with BikeTranz etc but you should probably come have a geez and a blat.
Priced to sell, no swaps (unless you have a sweet KTM...)

What a fantastic idea. My mrs has had two bikes for wedding anniversary presents.
Fuck knows why I bother though, she hasn't even ridden one of them ever. It just puts the responsibility back on me to ride it.
If she doesn't ride the next two I get her, I'm going to have to re consider my choice of gifts.

I've been texting Drew with a heads up. He's your best hope in your area, but he's not a starter yet.
