Right, after my final accident I've had a long hard think (4 weeks) and decided the ER5 has to go. Crying or Very sad The back wheel is naffed up and the total cost to get it looking vaguely decent is too close to the value of the bike.

I've got my eye on a Bandit 600 as I like the naked style.

I have the following parts for the ER5 that are NEW. Oil filter, front sprocket and rear brake pedal. If anyone on here has an ER5 and wants some/all of these new parts, PM me and I'll post em on to ya.

The rest of the bike will either appear on eBay as one lump, or as parts not decided yet. If you need anything else, PM me, I may have it! Smile

Roll on a Bandit summer! Very Happy

Right, the back wheel is screwed, I cant get he hub out of the back wheel to find out why (bugger is that the shoes are new). If you can sort that, the rear end is fine. At the other end, the forks are twisted so will need checking and realigning. Where I came off the casing surrounding the clockes is smashed and the LH mirror needs new glass. That's pretty much it, I've just got fed up with throwing money at it.

Oh, it's restricted to 33bhp, but that's easy to fix.

nah that sounds a bit to much work for me, i guess getting it up to glasgow wouldn't be worth it.

be careful with a bandit, it might be a bit gutless but its still a big bike but at least there aint much you cant get cheap i'd get engine bars though.
