Decided on the bandit, over the zr7. here she is:

£1700, 20 k on clocks. Bit ropey on idle, think it needs a good run, as been standing for a year.

My first bike in 2 years (since last was written off by an idiot driver)

That's clean for a 20,000 mile 8 year plus Bandit 6 Thumbs Up Cool
Don't forget first job is take the header bolts out and make sure they get copper greased/anti seized, second is clean and grease the rear caliper pins. Mr. Green

3rd must be an ACF-50 bath, it would be a shame to let such a clean bike get crusty.

It looks really good for a bandit, should serve you well once you get a bit of maintenance done, for the running problem try some fresh petrol, Vpower might be worth a go for it's detergent content.

Looks lovely but seems a high price for a bandit?

I know there's a picture in front of us, and i see how weirdly clean the bandit is but, i still find it hard to believe there's bandits in existence with 20k or maybe even less on the clock and have price tag's around 1700..

but JHEEZE is that clean..

Good hunting sir!

?? are you counting his shekels and looking for the biggest bargain?

The man got a bike and is proud of it. he doesnt aspire to be the Shylock, pound of flesh, juedische Goldstein of the bike world. Just wants to enjoy his ride.

Looks nice and clean Mondeo man

why do this and risk snapping them? its done 17k and they may already be seized. Youve got stainless pipes? so leave well alone.
