I see! I've taken my time with getting used to a revvy in-line 4 on the again but can't say I think it's shit (the GSXR is older than 10 years old mind).

The Daytona was a completely different kettle of fish for me, don't know if that would fit into the same category for you. But there was nothing bad about it in my book.

675 triple engine is immense. Different power delivery...punches above its weight

Why the laughter? You've paid him the cash he wanted for it.

For you, that is a fail.

muwhahahahahaha

Enjoy it, much better than a 6.

Lord Danoir the first

Don't steal his thunder, you knucklehead!!!...... he paid under the original asking and above all other bidders.

skillful e-bayage if you ask me.

Did you see the football last night?....... cos I wasn't there, innit.

MOzZereLLa

Yep. I was thinking all night it was all your fault.

Missing Dan's magic. It's a shame it doesn't spread effectively.

As for bigging up Daley, it's only banter innit. And if it meets reserve, it's the cash he wanted for it.

eBay not the best place for M6rk to practice his skills (unless of course he goes into bat on collection and that is something I wouldn't put last him).

Excellent work M6rk, she looks an lovely. Roll on summer.... seeing a few more bikes out and about already!  :moto:

Moz is partially correct...

I would of loved to go and make him cry.. however he did most of this himself.. comfortably the cheapest 4c8 in good condition around, he had it up at £4800 classified ad then dropped it to £4600, then turned it into an auction.. £4500 was the highest I wanted to pay and luckily it was his reserve.. I must be softening in my old age but it makes me happy when he gets the lowest price he wanted and paid the max I was comfortable to pay.. both feeling we got a good deal..

urgh.. whats happening to me ? :(

Dan, this is your fault. I've been hanging around all your niceness too much recently...



MOzZereLLa

Being partially correct is a rare on for me, normally it's totally wrong.

Irrespective of banter, it's a lovely looking bike at a great price. Very well done.
