Can't comment on it yet, other than to note the very roomy riding position. I've heard nothing but good things about them, and my buddy, who used to own a bike shop, and has done a lot of miles on these, has declared it to be a sound example of the breed.

Not bad for £1500. Plus £275 to ship if down from the "Here be Dragons" part of Scotlandshire..

Bike arrived on Thursday. I've ridden it all the way down the drive to the garage, where it will sit and gather dust until spring arrives..

I've just bought a Honda Pan European 1100. The baffles have been removed though, so that's ok..

Hi Olliie. Sorry for taking an age to notice your post- I'm not quite with bike yet. That said, I've paid for it, and it'll be here in a fortnight.

Good luck selling the Ninja. I'm at the point in life where my tiresomely long list of ailments dictates my riding position, and I am no longer Ninja shaped..

Thanks for the kind offers. I have to admit, with my health situation, doing a run like that would be madness.

I've been quoted £250 for it to be collected and delivered to my door, so going to go for that easy option.

I got £100 off the asking price, so that's a good start.

Cheers dude. Could be interesting to get involved in, especially as I've changed my plans somewhat drastically.

I've come to the conclusion that a project is fine as a second bike, but I want something I can actually use for distance travel and visiting etc.

To that end, it would seem that a Honda ST1100 Pan European is just what the doctor ordered.

I've just made a tentative offer on a well looked after 1997 model in black.
Only problem might be getting it back down south from Scotlandshire..

ha ha I had a 550 version of that in the same bloody awful Banana Yellow, worst bike i've ever owned.

I had a v plate 500 version as my first big bike. Rattle can in black, no mirrors etc. I loved it. I made an offer on the yellow one, but it was very low.

Lewis, always interested in a price, ta.

I've just seen a heavily modified clean gpz 900r go for £620 on ebay. I nearly bid on it.

Cheers Danoir. Good to be back, and see some familiar names. Even if I'm bikeless, I still have my MR2 for getting out and about in the summer to see people.

I've not been on here for a while. No bike etc.. Now want a cheap project to fettle, and eventually sell for a pittance in crates and boxes..

Joking aside, looking for anything 650cc upwards that would take to a Wrench Monkees style makeover

Needs to be cheap, as I'm not working now, or in the forseeable future, due to ill health. The kind that only goes away with a new liver..

So what have you got hiding in the back of the shed or garage? I'm fairly competent mechanically, so not scared of something that needs work, but would rather start with something close to complete, as opposed to aforementioned boxes of bits.

Cash waiting for the right bike, ideally (much) less than a grand. What y'all got, then?

Bloody computer's been broken. Sorted now.
Did look for you, T.C., but no luck..

Somehow, I find myself in Hove. Be rude to not pop down and say hi..

bellybuttons...... it's bellybuttons: opinions are like bellybuttons.

shitting Nora..... this place has no cunting class.

Shame. I'd be happy to take a cunting class.

Anyhoo, Adam and Eve didn't have bellybuttons.
