A choice of screens (tall smoked on at the moment).
Thunder race series case protectors , but with kevlar triaxial underneath for abrasion resistance (added by me cos I can!)

bump --and happy to answer questions--and a test ride is of course possible by appointment.

Cracking bike for little money and Chris is probably the most knowledgeable engineer I know so the bike will be bang on .

Great bikes, I had one some 25 yrs ago - a simple, robust, user-friendly jack-of-all-trades and master of commuting. If I was after a commuter I would have it like a shot. But I won't as my commuting days are over GLWS

just a couple more pics to keep the add alive for a bit longer.

Great bikes these, and it'll be well sorted with Chris tinkering with it for the last year or so, if only I had room in my garage. It looks well. Good buy for someone.

Just a quick bump, and an update--new MOT today--NO ADVISORIES.

[catcitrus]

Just another quick refresher. I'll drop the price to £850 if it temps anyone--but lower than that and to be honest its worth keeping even if I SORN it.

I'm surprised this hasn't sold, there brilliant bikes that can do real heavy mileage hence the dispatch riders choice. I knew a guy who had done over 100,000miles, with only the clutch plates changed, engine never been apart, used to thrash it over to le mans every year keeping up with his mates on sports bikes !!! Great bike glws.

Wow! That's a proper decent-looking motorbike for peanuts. Someone should just buy it as a spare/commuter, although it looks almost too nice to just muller it.

£850 doesn't buy you all that much, bike-wise, these days. Whatever, if you do go and look, don't muck about at that money - just pay it and take it away. You even get a clock!
