Bad:
Broken steering lock.
Few cracks in the fairing.
Scuff on the rear cowl.

This was a bargain compared to eBay/gumtree prices.

I will have quries in the coming months first thing is dumping the oil which I plan on doing next weekend.


Did you HPI it? May have been stolen in the past but... For £900, good buy I say Thumbs Up

Try not to bodge this one to death... looks tidy and a decent price.

No I bought it from a garage where it was dumped by the owner and spotted it the day I took my Varadero in for a new rear tyre.


Did the garage have actual ownership? If they didn't they may not have legally sold it to you which could get complicated when the original owner decides he wants his bike back.

Shocked Uh-oh! Is the sprocket theme to be carried on then?!

Check it has had the front sprocket replaced with a 12mm item (Yamaha recall) as opposed to the 9mm (thickness) item they came with. The original front sprockets have been known to come off - don't fkn weld it this time! Laughing

This is gen, not a wind up.

Good bikes, good price. What did it fail the MOT on?

slightly bent front wheel rim where someone had gone at it with a spoon trying to change the tyre.


Spoons don't bend rims Laughing

Well the spoon riding it would, but not what you're on about.

But....... but jack.........

We all have been young we all said our 50cc bike went 85mph down the bypass. I know I did. That 200 yard wheely outside Tesco that was actually 11mm of bodged clutch.

Time to move on one would have thought.

Its a good price when you consider its from a dealer.

My missus's one was £400 9000miles, stainless pipes/braided hoses/dynojet/ohlins springs/hagon shock/k&n/new tyres/top box. The catch? It was a non runner.....dead battery Lol

Just bought one today a little tatty but low miles with new tyres and mechanically sound £500

There are plenty of bargains to be had you just gotta keep an eye out.
