Slightly different 'blade

[wots]

Bought this last night.
'99 with just under 18K, it's only done 700 miles in the last 4 years. 9 Months MOT & 3 Months Tax.
Paid £1050 for it. Wasn't sure about the colour scheme but it grew on me when I saw it in the flesh. Incredibly smooth, but that's coming from an ER6 which tend to be a bit vibey.

Funny looking TL

Very nice, I'm not a big fan of the older shape, but Castrol colours are

Great deal

Does it have OEM tail light or the NSR250 like? 2 round lights.

It's got the OEM lights then. Apart from a Micron exhaust, it appears totally standard.

So now you need white and green leathers? :p

If it's in good nick it should be smoother than an ER6, as it has four cylinders over two so the power doesn't fluctuate as much. ie. You get four power strokes per revolution rather than two.

Might want to get something to protect the headlight cover, friend of mines had his crack after a small stone hit it in the motorway

Where does everyone keep finding these bargains?! £1050 for that is, in my eyes, amazing.

I love those colours, especially on a Supra:

Although chinky fairings =/= down the road, its pretty much the only reason for de-valuing a bike.

I wouldn't care personally.

Whats going on on the top of the tail piece?

Edit: actually it just looks like a reflection now.

Just been and had another look, chain is way slack, wheel is all the way forward so it should adjust ok. He did mention he'd just done the rear brake pads, I reckon he didn't adjust the wheel properly afterwards.

Got any more pics?

It looks beautiful

[wots]

[mrb-solutions]

I am loving the colours, very nice bike and a bargain!

That rear sprocket looks a little sharp

[wots]

A mate who has a similar year blade, looked all over it. He said that the engine was smoother than his, his has a flat spot which mine doesn't.

Also, if you look at the rearsets, there is a bracket on them, which pushes them back and down. Which is probably why I found it so comfortable, as the riding position change isn't quite so dramatic. Tank fill to tank fill it did 38mpg with all types of riding, incredibly impressed. Managed to get up to Boxhill, but it had started to rain and was dark so didn't bother with a pic there!
