Beautiful .... a lot of motorcycle for the money. They don't make them anymore, but parts will always be available.
This motorcycle will take you anywhere in the world .... anywhere

Good luck with the sale


EDIT .... Good to see the original gearchange lever has been replaced by a mild steel version off the F650's

The original version was beautifully made in stainless but was unbendable. If you took a hard fall it would/could break the gearchange shaft flush where it exits the engine casing, thus rendering the engine 'scrap' because it is a total engine out and strip down to replace. The mild steel replacement will ben .... and can be straightened

I ride a 701 with numerous trick bits, owned an XChallenge previously.
For the use I put them to, the XC is the better bike. Cracking example

Afraid many will go and buy a Chinese bag O shite rather than picking up a well sorted classic machine like this.

One will end up as landfill, the other will still be admired in 20 years time

Now on eBay.

 

[FERRET]

Ok, let's try this again, I am revising the price of the bike to £4500.
This does not include the Touratech tank or Akrapovic silencer, these can be negotiated separately if required by the purchaser.
They will not be sold separately until the bike is sold.
Thanks for looking.
