So how long you had the bike for Steve?
They told me they sold one recently, was that you? |

I've had mine around seven years. Saw they had one up for sale 6 months or so back. |

After a few thousand miles the speedo is purely an ornament -mine reads anything from 103 to 999 mph!!! Ive covered the sensor wire, HT leads, etc with aluminium foil to cut down the interferance with no improvement looks like it might be time for a new sensor |

Bit like Gremlins, whatever you do don't get them wet. I may well be leaving the fold this year, am seriously contemplating selling mine this summer as I can't give it the love or time needed |

thats a pity to hear. Its just the cost of fuel that cuts down my riding on it. |

I was going to sell last year, but when it came down to it I just couldn't do it. Maybe the same this time, but I'm finding it hard to justify hanging on to it when I rarely ride it. The two Ducati's always get used first and I have to have my two stroke head on to get the Bim out. Always wanted one and have now owned one, just feel it might be better to let someone else have the experience of ownership who might love it a bit more than I do. |

You can't say things like that without putting some details to it.
I have not signed the deal with Piero yet, so pictures, details, spec and price if you are serious . |

I'll PM the details to you. The bike is at the moment away having the carbs sorted ( see thread re fuel everywhere), so only have one photo at the moment, but will take and send more if you're interested. Here's the photo, PM to follow.

In fairness, I think I've regretted every bike I've ever sold (well maybe not the second CX500), but think it may be time or it's in danger of just becoming an ornament which would be a shame. |
