Sure does look pretty, think its probably been standing thats all, that rear disc is normal, as when wet it will rust and just looks like it needs a five mile run to just clean it off a bit, they all go like that even if just stored.

Yeh full fluids change. Drive train chain Slack??? Not so sure with the SB6's, the DB series always look slack, but you have to check only when you sit on it for correct tension. Are the Sb6's the same or different?

It is a nice fresh new take on the original, and yeh, far better than the standard 6R, the black seems to disguise the ducks bill rear end

Price is right, rear hugger i didn't see Shocked

Don't know why, but it sure needs to be there...about the slack of th chain...my former bike ( bb 1)
Had the same issue...when you are on the bike..the chain is a lot different then when the bike is just on the pivot.
Anyway if the deal goes on, i wil order the carbon exhaust cover off course! Very Happy

The BB1's have to have a slack chain due to the pneumatic jack hammer nature of the single cylinder Rotax engine, thats quite normal for what is in fact an "off road" engine, just not so sure its right for the Sb6. Bike has some nice trinkets on it , just not so sure its been serviced for a while, but could be a bargaining tool when you go to view. Don't forget, if it needs new chain and sprockets the engine has to be dropped from the frame to get the front sprocket off. I suppose for most folk they may sell a bike at such a time to save the cost if they can't do it themselves

On a standard 6r, that's a little, flat, black rubber button to toggle through the digital speedo readings Wink

Why they are using a lethal looking spike on this one.....well we'll find out if he buys it Laughing

If you ever feel like selling that, please let me know. No chance of registering it over here in Aus but it would make a perfect piece of Artwork for the home Smile

The pipes look a bit SB6 (not 6R) but the end caps have been remade
