I sort of know the guy selling it as I helped him out on Salisbury Plain once. IMO he'll never get that money for it, although it's had a lot of work done to it it's still a 23 year old bike.
But you forgot to mention the Javan White Rhino leather seat, the saffron quilted air filter, the 24Ct gold fork cartridges and the swingarm carved from the tusk of the last narwhal. Best of luck to him if there's a buyer out there...

Nothing to do with me but here you go:

Probably the best looking 650 I've ever seen for sale and (I think) one of five that was sold at Bridge Moto. I tried to buy one new at the time but missed the boat.
Usually I would say it was overpriced but this time I'm not sure.

Thanks, got it home on Sunday and gave it a good inspection and it seems mostly unmolested. Test run tonight and it pulls well but I think it has a smaller sprocket up front as the gears are so low. Clutch is great, brakes are poor. It's very comfortable to sit on.
I need some touch up paint for the tank. Anyone know the colour codes for Djebel tanks?
Cheers
Bren

Just noticed your other post, so its a 200.
I can't recall what bike(s) you are running, just the XR?
<edit> T700, and XR sold

Morning all,
I shudder to ask but I'm a bit stumped on tyres for my 1995 DR200. The rear 100/90-18 seems impossible to get a 50/50 tyre. I've found Anakee Wild and TKC80 at 110/80 -18. How far out of size spec is it ok to go?
Thanks
Bren
As a sweetner here is a photo of a shonky alu luggage guard I made out an offcut...

Doesn't it depend on what oil you use?
