A guy I know is selling a winter hack.

its a 1997 P reg GSF 600SV Bandit
regular oil changes and filter changes
Hagon rear shock, progressive fork springs
Small front sprocket (not sure how small - just for better acceleration he says Laughing

)
Front and rear wheel sprocket carrier and headrace bearings replaced
New cam chain
EBC Pro-Lite front disks, braided hoses all round
Motad downpipes and Remus race-can (+ standard can for MOT)

Runs and rides great, when the cam chain was done the mechanic said internally the engine is sound and looks like new.

The only thing is after 5 winters and 60,000 miles (yes 60k) the looks have shall we say dulled.

Now a mate is after buying this as just what its been sold as, a winter hack (to keep his black bird nice (yes the chap wanting replacement bolts etc)). So what would you guys say it was worth?

If it's as good as you say, then around £1000.00 plus, start off with a low bid @ £650.00 and see if he will take that (flash the cash under his nose).

The guy selling has actually said he expects under a grand which is nice.

Suzuki for a winter hack? Best buy some shares in WD40 then mate Wink

Seriously though, sounds like a bargain to me. In the back of this months (Jan) BIKE magazine there's a Bandit 6 buyer's guide.

Nothing wrong with bandits Kris, the engines are bullet proof and for under a grand I wouldn't complain. I'd certainly would'nt worry about handing my money over as long as I made the appropriate checks that it was in working order.

Yea as I said - sounds like a bargain. Only problem with Suzuki's is that they often turn to shit in winter, rotting and that. I was just messing with Gav about protecting it from rust Laughing

But if you don't believe me ask Keith about brake calipers in winter Twisted Evil

I can call you short because I am a girl, and we are allowed to be short.
