Hi Brian,

I'd be happy to sell you my ninja. I haven't tried starting it in a few years but if you were interested I could roll it out of the shed and see if it starts. The back brake needs sorting too, but other than that I think it was ok. I can't ride any more due to a fearfull wife.

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..

Olliie, what sort of money are you looking for?
I wouldn't mind something in the garage to tinker with and ride every so often for the right money.

looking at the prices for these bikes I don't want to price it wrong, but something just below £1000 if it runs and something much less than £1000 if it doesn't run.
If you don't want me to even try starting it then it's yours for probably even less, but you might want to come and look at it first.
I realise that you want it for nothing but a 1999 bike goes for thousands so I had better not just give it away. Hope that seems fair.

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..

looking good that , thinking of replacing my Deauville with one

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..

I had one as a daily ride for a while,  really good bike to get out and about on,  especially 2 up.

I would suggest replacing the rear shock as that made my old one a lot better.

I helped a mate swap the exhaust on one of those once. My god, we had to dismantle practically every piece of bodywork to get to the exhaust because every panel we wanted to remove had at least one fastener hidden by another panel, which had to be removed first. And it, of course, would have a fastener obscured by another panel... Good build quality but annoying.
