Great commuter, excellent mileage and actually lots of fun to chuck around in the twisties. Huge underseat storage space. Please note that this motorcycle is not pristine. It is a workhorse and has scuffs and marks commensurate with its age, including a dent in the tank as shown in the picture attached.

New Givi Airstar bikini fairing fitted, new Pirelli Sport Demon tyres just fitted. Oil and filter just done, receipt available.

Rear shocks still warrantable (despite posts you may have seen) and I have organised replacements, I am happy to negotiate some way around that issue.

Bonus: Kiwibiker sticker
Bonus No. 2: Sticker that says "Bite My Shiny Metal Ass" (apologies to Hitcher).

This bike is a peach. I delivered James Deuce to New Plymouth when he purchased it. Yes, it has the odd ding and scratch commensurate with its age, but it runs brilliantly. The only noise to be heard when it is running comes out the end of the exhaust. A brilliant commuter, but also a good tourer. The stickers give it an authentic je ne sais quoi. And Mr Deuce has done wonders with it since it has been in his care (rear suspension aside).

How much do ya want for it? I understand what you meant about fuel economy. I find myself wishing I'd kept the bike and used it as a runabout.
Edit: I see the price now, just brought a new computer yesterday and have to pick it up today after work. Had I known about this, I'd have brought the bike instead... For the record, those looking for a bike, this one is a beauty. I know because it used to be mine.

That might be a good/sensible bike for me. Sounds like a damn good price for a low km bike.
But I can't get my full licence till mid january and I'm not really sure what I'm after yet.
Good luck with the sale.

Well done, that man. One down, one to go.

Those new ER-6Ns look pretty horny. There was a black one parked outside work a couple of days ago with a YAT plate...
