It looks very clean, aside from the dent, I personally wouldn't wanna buy a bike of that age without being able to have a good look at it.

Are you doing direct access then? coz you'll need a full licence to ride that.

Looks clean, and like someone has spent some money on it with a respray and redoing the wheels (there is no way they would be that clean and white after 15 years without being repainted)

All the best

Dax has already said he's never had a bike before, its highly unlikely if he's under 21 that he'd do a CBT then instantly a restricted licence test, if he did it aint likely he'd pass. So therefore the only logical alternative route would be direct access if he's over 21.

And a restricted license IS a full license thank you very much, its just got a 2 yr restriction b4 it's lifted.

i'm looking at it as more of an investment for the future as i wouldn't be able to ride it until i pass my (restricted) test, which i'm afraid won't be for a few months. Mr. Green

Ok, but I know I couldn't have that sitting in my garage without being able to ride it, it'd drive me crazy. I had my FZR sitting around for about a month before I rode it out properly, was a nightmare.

its an Nc 24 like mine, and looks good, so its a good price. dont pay over 900 quid for it, and check it out if you are a serious bidder. Listen for any engine probs, because VFRs have strong engines and if it sounds a bit dodgy, keep away.

oh also insurance is an arsehole cos its an import, so check you can afford that first. it might work out cheaper for you to get an old CBR6.
