Passed MOD 2 - new bike

[jonna]

Alright lads and lasses!

I've jumped weaved and ridden through all the hoops and I'm ready to be released onto the road

Bike-wise I've been after a 600 Bandit pref street fighter and found this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120915285052?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648#ht_1013wt_1139

Bid on it and won..

However couple of concerns:

- I'll be removing the pods and putting the standard airbox back on it and will be getting the carbs balance and have it tuned up properly
- Speedo may be an easy fix.. /I will fit the old style dials
- Possibly paid over the odds but I loved the look
- It's done 37K not too concerned about this providing it's in good nick when I see it

Is there anything else I should watch for and what do you guys think?

Cheers!

I hope you HPI'ed that. "Pre filled Item information removed"

I would be asking why.

Hope it's all good for you

Yeah I've HPI'ed and it all checks out including the colour changes,
checked against MID and on the DVLA, all Kosha.

What exactly are you asking? Should you? Go and pay the man, you weren't bidding to haggle or change your mind (unless it's not as described).

If it makes you happy, then it's the right bike for you. If you're looking for approval, eh, sort of like.

Yeah I'll be going down and I do like said bike. However I just wanted to run it past some experienced folks to spot anything I may have missed.

For example: 'It has XYZ be careful keep an eye out for this when you test ride it'

[sidewinder]

Looks to be pretty decent in the pictures.Make sure its cold when you first start it and check for smoke.And give it a good road test before handing over the cash

[jonna]

Thanks for the tips - I'll let you know what happens...

[Efes123]

It has XYZ be careful keep an eye out for this when you test ride it.

I wouldn't ride the bike with the subframe all twisted like that, get it straightened out first
