I'm not a fan of the pipes but everything else is way better than usual...

[Scubbo]

That looks brilliant. Wouldn't pay nearly 10k for a 90,000 km bike though... But that's cos I'm a cheap bastard

Well to a point, yes. I'd be asking if he's uprated the starter mechanism - and just how it runs as those CV's are a prick to tune.

It'd be nice if there was a one way bearing that fit, off the shelf. One with actual races.

If that is an S, and I have seen one advertised as such in a dealers that definitely wasn't, it is a bit over half the new price which was just south of $38,000(?).
At that price though he is getting close to a new Panigale which as well as being new would be more comfortable. And these days comfort rates highly.

while not optimistic.

Is has a very funny write up

"doesnt leak oil in spots but does have a certain greasyness to it"

I've never quite figured out the "shouldn't need anything for a WOF" approach. Yeah? Well go get a WOF then, make the bike way more saleable.

But wouldn't he have to register it as well.
Its a euphemism, much like a fixer upper house or handyman's special.
What he should have said was when it runs it makes a potato potato sound that's almost irresistible to skanky women.....
Plus the bungee strap is load bearing, yet also serves as a tow cable for those out of town rides. That are actually possible as it has a very wide ugly non standard tank.

You can still get the check done with all the associated pass/fail papering, just won't get the label.

A WOF place would most likely happily take $50 to do a WOF check on a goldfish if you asked them.

I'm normally allergic to Cafe Racers - but that looks like it would be quite fun!

Not willing to part with 10 large for it though...

You need a wof to be able to get the registration.

Having the wof doesn't mean that it then has to be registered.

And having a bike with a warrant is no guarantee that it is still in warrantable condition when sold - the owner may have pulled a few burn-outs since the warrant and the rear tyre is then shot ..

I once had a warrent issued from the desk with my bike curbside. But it was me and he asked if it was OK.
