This was taken last year just before the tt. Bikes now got an original uncut undertray and genuine yamaha reflector and bracket fitted. The bikes done hardly any mileage since the TT last year mate. It is a cat C however from many year ago after suffering panel damage. Loads of history with the bike Image

Hi mate. The other bike isn't for sale. I'd be looking at £3500 for this bike.
It's done 35k miles with loads of history. Last year before the TT it had new brake pads and fluid, oil and coolant changed, all bearings greased and the shock was changed for a good second hand item and checked over. The exup valve was serviced too. When I came back from the TT the clutch was slipping now and again so I fitted a brand new Barnett spring kit and it done next to no miles since.
I'm sure the MOT has expired but I'd put a year back on it. Bike is completely standard apart from braided lines and EBC discs although could put standard discs on if needed.

The way prices having been going this year I think you'll be looking at £5k upward for a completely original standard white and red bike. The blue bikes seem to be a bit less though

I know this bike and Rob, drove 650 miles to get it, if you want a bike that is the best you can get for 3.5 then look no further, Rob is and engineer and a bloody picky 1 at that ;)
