https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kawasaki-ZR550-B2-Zephyr-1991-in-need-of-tidying-TLC_W0QQitemZ190339980851QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycles?hash=item2c51259e33&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Seems weird seeing it on there tbh, I bought it off a mate the start of this year who bought it of another mate of ours, I then sold it back to my mate when I bought the SV, he only sold it last month to whoever the seller is on Ebay...

Only reason I've put this up is because if anyone is after a cheap winter hack it's a damn good bike and I regret the day I sold it, god I miss that bike..., so if anyone's been watching it I can give you some feed back on it... Thumbs Up

EDIT : No I'm not the seller by the way, before that acusation comes up... Thumbs Up

A year or two ago I saw my old 87 Honda BROS 650 on ebay... the guy I sold it to was punting it after a few years service. I was VERY tempted to get it back...

Hi

Last year I saw my old AF1 Futura (traded it in back in 1993 for my RS125) on Ebay.

I bought it back Embarassed .

All the best

Yeah I did funnily enough, the mate I bought it off had it back for his Daughters bloke as he was on about getting into biking, he changed his mind and it sat in the garage with my mate using it now and then, when he mentioned selling it again I mentioned it to the missus but I couldn't justify having two bikes tbh, although it would have only cost an extra tenner on the insurance and would have made a decent winter hack instead of the SV...

Loved that bike and if I could have found a tidy 750 version at the time I wouldn't have bought the SV in all honesty...

He must of had four bids from people with less than 10 feedback as it's gone back down to one bid and less money...

I've just let a mate of mine know about it as she was after it just after I sold it on...

I noticed it was down to one bid. Someone may get a bargain there.

Looks a bit of a dog. The tank must be more filler than metal as the mounts for the tank badges are no longer visible. £400 tops.


There was a fifty pence sized dent in the right hand top of the tank that was filled a couple of years back by a mate of mine who owned it then, looks wise it wasn't the prettiest bike granted but mechanically and reliability were never an issue, in the true spirit of and all round winter hack/shitter is was a cracking bike, never let me or the two mates of mine who had it previous down... Thumbs Up
