Sub €1000 bike

[Kamikaze]

Thanks, Marc. A fantastic bike I'm sure but not exactly what I was looking for.

bit rick but can get cb1000 for under 1300

Hmmm, got me thinking but will try to stick to budget unless blown away by something.
I went out to JT Motorcycles in Innishannon yesterday.
He had an ok 94 VFR 750 but wanted €1250.

I think this looks the part, be easy on front tyres !!!

I kinda thought that - but it does 'focus the mind' getting offers of Bikes you DONT want, as to which Bikes you DO want.
That's Mrs Ogs Suzuki Savage 650 - She'd love to swop and get a Serow.

It's a buyers market - if you can wave cash at a seller, you should get just what you want and pay only what you have to.
Good Luck.

If you and your better half were to amble down this way, JT did have a Serow.
He has a stock of about 100 bikes of all sorts. He might deal.

If you needed someplace to lay your heads, I'm sure I could squeeze you in.

I bought my son a Kawasaki GPZ500S for less than £500 as a winter hack. He normally rides a Triumph TT600 but he's really happy with the Kawasaki for commuting.

Had a look at this earlier.

Original paint, rear wheel needs painting, bit of scuffing on left side (evidence of a minor off) needs tyres and a battery.
Will be taking it for a spin tomorrow but it sounded good.
Not perfect by any means but seems a straight, honest bike and at the lowest price I've seen for one of these.
It's the F3 which apparently is the best of them before going FI.

Thoughts of the collective?

 

[DrFarkoff]

Awful cramped for your size is it not, Kami??

 

[Kamikaze]

How dare you.


You could be right, though.
I haven't ridden one before.
I'll see tomorrow how it fits.

 

[richie]

looks not too bad, but what about the saddle what's the shtory

 

[Kamikaze]

Saddle needs new cover.
About €30 on ebay or €60 local professional.

Im looking a yoke to do paddydakar was lookin at drz €2-3k for 14 year old traile

 

[Kamikaze]

Thanks, Sid.
You should do better than that for a DRZ.
It'd want to be mint at those prices.

I didn't go for the CBR in the end.It was going to end up at 50% over budget and I'd still be looking at the damage on the side. If I'd got it at half the price, I could live with that.

I'm leaning towards a VFR but am in no major hurry so will keep looking.

[Kamikaze]

Apparently this is a bargain.

It's a pity it has rear shock problems.

 

[Ogmios]

...

I didn't go for the CBR in the end. . .

Phew ... kinda glad you didn't. unseen damage would be my worry - I think you could do better.
FWIW i had a look on irishbikerforum.com but there's bugger all at the moment.
Oh, and ...

If you needed someplace to lay your heads, I'm sure I could squeeze you in.

Very kind - Thank you!

i'll keep an eye out up here - will let you know if i come across anything viable.
Good Luck

 

[john_aero]

Thanks, John.
