Or..
1992 xj 600s
Mot until june taxed until the end of Feb, the bike has done 29,900 miles
its tidy as hell, paint job is a bit.. different...
current bid is £450 but its about 120 miles away so around £500 including fuel

I didnt really want to spend much more than £400


Umm...... let me see. I'd probably suggest going for the one in budget!

I'd say the first one, but the gay factor of the second one is too much to pass Very Happy

Get the first one. It's cheap...that's about all Divvys have going for them.

Also if your ZXR handles worse than a Divvy then there is something very very wrong with it. Shocked

The gay one's missing a disc. And will cost a fair bit more just because it's clean?

It was more of a fear of binning it.. and then i binned it so now its gone to a new home.

the xj is a good bike to bin, pick up and ride off.

i was pulling more to the first tbh.

Fair enough. Get your riding standard up riding a bit of a shitter and then get yourself a nice sports bike later.

I did all my crashing on the RXS (once was bad cornering and once was snow Razz)and Bros (although this was a van's fault I would have been able to avoid it now).

After the Bros I got a ZZR600 which was a relatively nice bike, then the TRX. At this point, whilst the Zx6 is insanely nice I'm comfortable on it and don't have to change my riding style to not bin it Laughing

I've not had a crash for 2 years this April (touch wood).

hmm yeah you're right there fella,

i think i prefer these with the front fairing on too, I reckon the 2nd one has been binned pretty badly and they've cut back on replacement parts and just repainted it, and not bothered replacing the front fairing

Go for the first one, divvys are reliable as hell, so if it runs, it'll work Laughing It also has the fairing, twin discs and a rear rack which are all good! Get a set of engine bars on that and you are all set up!
