Any of you guys up in Fife able to have a look at a bike I am thinking of buying?

I'm a bit too far north otherwise would have had wee look, that's a lot of pressure on someone though!
Worth having an AA or RAC report done?
 
Thanks Fella's KT7 6YL

A Suzuki DR800

Nav.

That'll be KY7 6YL then - 6 miles down the road from me. Have you been in touch with the guy to let him know you're interested? If so, PM me his number and I'll call him to arrange to view the bike ASAP. Send me your number as well so that I can let you know what I find.
 
Excellent stuff, following with interest.

Good luck.
 
I went to look at it this evening. It's a 23 year old DR800 that's had a 16K km engine which was sourced in Germany transplanted into it. For the sum that the guys have agreed upon it appears to be a fair deal. It's in pretty good cosmetic order for its age. It started on the button after sitting in an unheated lockup for 3 weeks. It doesn't rattle or smoke unduly. It's got a fresh MOT.

As ever, no warranty is implied or guaranteed. However, if I wanted a DR800 and I don't - it's even taller than my GS, I think I'd be quite happy to buy this one.

And....I discovered that the seller plays ice hockey with an old colleague of mine. It's a sma' world. :D

It's getting collected next week, if you guys have a similar need near me, nudge me.

Thank you again, Mike. I think we may have gone to The Smithy cafe in Monyash when we last met.

I've got a CCM which has an engine very close to the DR650, loads of fun and excellent mechanical reliability,enjoy.

Nice one Schtum.
