Hello chaps
I went to look at a 91 cg about a fortnight ago and it wasn't up to much but my budget wouldn't let me stretch any further. I decided to wait a few weeks and now I've got roughly £1000 to spend on a bike. I've found a 06 YBR on ebay with the only faults being a few scratches on the front mudguard and a few bits of wear as expected with an old bike.
https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160924416333
Just wondering if anyone could give me an opinion on whether it's a good purchase if its all running fine. Was also wondering whether I can find a newer bike for this price or is this the average price for a YBR of this age?
Hopefully I can get on the road by next week and throw my bicycle in a skip  |

It's only a 2006  What would you consider historic? 2002?

Is the YBR in the lock-up behind that CG?
If you've got "roughly £1000" to spend, take it out in cash and go and buy a bike. Right now you're just licking the window.
That one's got no service history and 21,000 miles, and they don't actually thrive on neglect, so you can do better, or pay less. View the CLR, offer him cash on the spot.
