Sorry, I am sure I can get the asking price when Spring hits.

You will not likely find a better handling or running bike for less.


A veritable "track weapon".

Just like the S. Might be a little down on Hp and Tq, but more than makes up for it in the twisties with it's handling, braking and lightweight. And you won't see one on every corner, just like the S.

again.

Solo seat cover is already there. Tires look brand new. No rashes on the plastics.

You'll have $$ left over for gear (helmet, boots?, gloves, jacket) or even a trackday . We don't even have to mention the amount of money that will be saved on insurance seeing how you will own the bike and can insure any way you please.

Thanks Freq.

There is actually a teeny bit of rash in the fairing and the pipe, I slid the front in turn one at Summit for a split second, was able to lever myself back up and continue on. Don't ask me how.

I didn't think anything happened (just that the front felt weird for a second), then I got back to the pits and noticed the spot.

That was my fastest lap of the day too.

Huh? I was thinking the price was cheap for a well-sorted bike like that. I think you're discounting the value of those parts and the apparent condition of that bike.

Nice, er that was a bit more than $ 1000.00 was it not?

Is this your first bike?

I thought you were being sensible looking for a small and cheap bike to learn on?
