Good Morning All,
So a few months ago, I got overexcited and purchased a 701 off a great member here, who was selling up due to poor health. It's a bike I've always wanted, and was local, so I did so without checking insurance quotes, and whilst my insurance for my KTM 350 and my R100 are reasonable, the quotes for me for this 701 are £3k+, I waited a few months incase it was a blip but alas they've not fallen, so I must sell the bike on.
The bike has not been ridden since purchase sadly and is absolutely beautiful, stacks of paperwork, two keys.
The bike was lowered with a link, I've since bought the original complete shock to take back to OEM height.
I will list the bike here for the same price I paid, of £5,000, which is a good price, and again the replacement shock to take back to factory height, £200 if you'd like it, which is what I'd paid.
I had a pleasure meeting Russ and his brother, and he loved his bike and was pleased it was going to go to someone who would make the most out of it, which sadly I can't.
Copy from his advert here:
Sadly, due to recent ill health, I am unable to ride and must sell my 701. 15k mileage through which no issues, Bike well maintained & used for what its meant for, so has trail scuffs etc. Extras include: Screen, AXP bashplate, Doubletake mirrors on RAM, Outback Motortek pannier racks, fuel cap mod, CNC rack, barkbusters, hotgrips, so ready for the trail or TET etc. TKC80s with plenty of tread. Oil and filters regularly, valve check done by KTM @ 10k.
Located in North London.
