Title: too old?
Post by: Carbon_ZX6R on September 30, 2014, 07:16:29 PM
been thinking about a monster for a while to have as my commuter and ive noticed this
my question is , am I likely to have problems due to the age , as we all remember how temperamental the sports bikes of old wore

I'd avoid one that old unless his been owned by a fanatic that's had it stripped and put back together again half a dozen times....

I was thinking same sort of thing, but didn't know if the monster engines wore as temperamental

Now I think I have you mostly figured out..... so by way of forewarning - I'd like to see the car by all means, but if it's got your misses sprawled over it in stilettos wearing a Max Power top with her tits popping out then I'm not interested!!  ;)

Didn't mean to deprive you Jonsey. Terribly sorry chap. I've been on the internet and found you a consolation prize.
