Be careful when buying there ( bat ) if you look in the Bargain basement section, they mostly dont have Mot`s..take a mate with u. t`other side is much better.

That's Andrew's bike!!

I can sort of vouch that it's all in good nick mechanically, if you want to know the history of it it got nicked once and recovered, and vandalised by a drunk bird outside his house - but he replaced the damaged bits.

He traded it in when he bought his XJR400 from there. He'll tell you more himself I'm sure, but it's a good bike.

dudes, another thing i have been looking at this... say for example i got a black NSR, how much would gold colour rims be... i saw a pair for £1000 odd is Demon Tweaks magazine, but they were racing type.


Hi

Getting the wheels repainted is not bad. Upwards of £30 a wheel probably, but you will have to get the tyres removed and refitted and also you will need to budget for new wheel bearings (they may survive being taken out, but not that likely and I would not want to trust them afterwards).

I presume the wheels in the DT magazine are magnesium alloy race wheels. Probably very light, and this would almost certainly help the handing. However, check that they are designed for road use. Race tracks are smooth and race bikes dont do too many miles. Also they may well be far more easily damaged by a pot hole. Wosst point is that they are unlikely to be a bolt on part, and you would probably need to get a suitable brake disk as well, have fun fitting a speedo drive and need to get the spacers made up.

All the best

Keith

yup, its fully derestricted, 100mph top speed Smile its a loud fecker with that can on it too Very Happy it was run in well, while it was still restricted so thats all good... as for the wheels, i dont think its worth getting new wheels for it, if u can actually get them for an nsr?? what i would do is get them sprayed gold... or, why not get the edges polished, and leave the spokes black, silver on black always looks cool 8)
i rekon if u give bat a deposit they wont sell it... did u mean give them the deposit in may, or buy it in may and pay the deposit now?? they havent sold that nsr in 4 months so i dont rekon itl go soon, they should let you pay a deposit now and hold it for a few months Smile
anyways hope u buy it, its in good condition, as korn and ange will vouch for Very Happy
