I've successfully converted a mate from rice to potatoes after he got a taste on the weekend. So he needs to sell his current bike.
This is one very tidy example of one of the very top of the line crotch rockets of its day.
Unfortunately there are a couple of very small scuffs on the tailpiece from the use of bungees, which are not visible in the pics. They would be very easily tidied up. The rest of the plastic is in "as new" condition, the fairings had some protective film on them which was only removed a couple of months ago.
New Conti Road Attacks front and rear.
No known mechanical issues.
PM me for further details.

OK... she's going on Tardme for $6,500 (if there's enough money in my account). Kber's can have her for a sweet $6,000, I'll adjust the price now.

He's got his eye on one or two other bikes but it all depends on whether or not they are still available after this one sells.

So help the guy out, fellahs!

Mate, $6k... that's sharp for such a tidy and desirable piece of machinery. Shame I'm not looking at going to a thou yet or I'd be considering it myself! Still, some smart cookie is going to get themselves a bargain. Good luck with the sale :yes:
