Hi

About a year ago I sold my 45k M reg one for ~£800. That had new tyres (BT45s), new bearings all over the place, heated grips and a top box (useful, but the handling was interesting when seriously overloaded Whistle

). Condition wise it was pretty good.

All the best

I bought my N reg one in July, 21K on the clock, excellent condition, 12 months MOT.
Paid £900 but needed and exhaust on it and the carbs balancing.

FFS froggygirl, how many bikes do you want/need?

It seems every week you have seen something different and you change your bikes like I change my socks!*

How come you're going through so many different ones in such a short space of time? You're doing my head in! Razz

*OK so my feet are a bit crusty. Wanna make something of it?!!

Hi

What do you want the Divvy for? Fun or as a commuter?

If it is for fun then look elsewhere.

All the best

Divvies are boring as hell bikes, they just cosset you along with the minimum amount of fuss! Laughing

I remember riding one as a courtesy bike, and nearly fell asleep, till the tyres caught me out on a round-a-bout and nearly had me off!

Hi

For a motorway run they are great. Fairing works well. Riding position is comfy and get them up to 80~90 and they sit there comfortably.

All the best
