Cheers Scotty! I'll be sad to see my sexy wee baby gone, but I think I prefer my ugly CB500 now.

i like your sale style.

[Major_Grooves]

It uses's the cagiva Mito engine?
So i suppose the bikes good for about 80 mph ish?

Didnt really read up on it much, but it can't be that old and if your selling it for that much in immac condition it seems a bit low. why?

I'd have asked him to make an offer first.

Then maybe held out for a bit.

Get some bids on there and people think they're getting a bargain if they 'buy it now' at a moderate price .

[Scotty]

Maybe but its yellow! I like it.

Even though its Cagiva i would buy it,. lol
But no moneys.

is it the Mito power plant in it?

i'm sure that bike would already be very easy to modify too.

I think it's pretty much the same engine as the Mito. One day in the future I would like to buy another (yellow) Planet and squeeze a big engine into it and give it a fat exhaust, because I still think it's one of the sexiest bikes on the road.

That bike is one shiny Beast! I thought it would be more expensive than 800.

SOLD! for £875.

Not a princely sum but it'll do.

Ladies and Gentlemen thank you for your attention.

Make sure you put a big hand print on the chrome just before they come to pick it up. Or maybe even a butt-print...

[Major_Grooves]

Well the exhaust was pretty rusty, there was a slight oil leak, and the tyres don't have much left on them. Also the miles were quite high (16K) so I imagine it would need a rebuild in the not too distant future, and the chain is near the end of it's life. If it were not for all of those things I think it would have been worth more like £1200. To be honest I am glad to see it go, and get money in my account. I am looking forward to some (please God, please ) Honda reliability.

If I've got some spare money next month maybe I'll go for the yellow respray. When I ride the CB it is far too obvious that my previous bike was yellow!

[Major_Grooves]

Wah! Two emails from people offering me more money for the Planet than the other guy gave me.

Oh well, live and learn. I fell a warm glow for giving someone a bargain bike.
