Does anyone have experiences of this bike? Is it a good first bike? Are parts easy to acquire?

Hopefully picking up one next week, but no idea whether to use it as my main steed or get something else when I sell the CG.

Cheers,

T

You'd be better off looking for a 400 Bandit, they're excellent little bikes.

Super looking, plenty quick enough and easy to find spares.

I had one for 8 yrs, highly recommended. Thumbs Up

He always does this Sickpup, I'm used to it now.

Think I'm gona use the CG money (£800ish) to tidy this bike up and then ride it...

Aftermarket cans for a GSX? I'll be lucky LOL

I'd just leave it alone mate, don't spend anything other than necessary money and bank the rest.

(ps, you put the decimal point in the wrong place)

Ok I'll take that on board.

I'll invest it in a decent lid and look after it well this time.

Think I might need £100ish to service it when I get it though.

What kinda service are you gonna do with £100 Confused

Oil / Filter / Set of plugs

wow thats not bad at all for free Thumbs Up

I agree with you sell the cg for £800 then spend £100 on a service then save the rest for your next bike Wink

I know I have mentioned it before but I bought my bandit 600cc for £1200 and that only had 3.5k miles on the clock and is a 1999 reg with only 1 owner from new with a fsh. I've had it for 5 months now and its been great. It is a perfect first bike and very reliable.

How come your getting it for free anyway?

Battery and C&S alone would be more than £100. Bike looks tidy enough, I tend to avoid anything old, and anything too obscure, looks like this is both! Thumbs Up
