Red.

Not a pretty bike by any stretch, but its been used daily for commuting to work, and doing the shopping on.

There's mot until July, as well as tax for 8 or 9 months

Needs a new pair of discs, they're so worn there's hardly any brake there, and the right hand rear shock is leaking. You can get a new pair of shocks for 60 quid, and discs come up at around 30 - 40 for a serviceable pair.

The bike is rusty, and the paint is tatty, but frame/swingarm/wheels are structurally fine. The tank laquer has blistered, dont know why, but the fuel tank isnt rusting. There is paint bubbling where the logo is at the sides of the tank.
The numberplate needs replacing too really... its somewhat delaminated.

There's a stainless motad 4 - 1 exhaust fitted, and its had a new battery recently.
All lights and gauges work (including digital fuel gauge).

2 newish tyres, new front brake pads and right hand caliper piston and seals etc etc.

The front suspension is pretty crap, but no visible oil leakage, and no air leaks.

Shaft drive seems fine!

Engine has the usual rattles and carbs need balancing, just like every gt i've seen.

Mileage is around 33000

Pics to follow...
