I've just bought this from a mate who needed the cash as he's moved to America and has no job! I have sold my old GSXF750 to buy this but as I never rode the old bike, chances are I'll never ride this one so I'll offer it on here. I'm not too fussed if it doesn't sell as it's not taking up too much space!!
Piccies say it all really but they don't show the 12 months MOT or the six months tax.
One front fork seal is a bit weepy so needs to be replaced at some point and the front tyre could do with replacing.
I've fitted the standard exhaust cans for the MOT but the ones pictured are also included.
The offside engine cover/casing is scuffed but it would buff-out and repaint if another one couldn't be found.
Rear shock was replaced less than 200 miles ago as were the cam chain tensioners. The chain and sprockets look new but I have no dates for those!
So, it's a 1997 50th Anniversary Special Edition, which means it's not the standard Red, it has extra stickers and the wheels are red and gold. The first person to wave £1200 gets it. It's close to YO22 4LH
Cheers, Owelly.

No interest? Excellent. I'll buy myself a new bike jacket!

I'll have another crack at selling this! Fresh MOT and tax but needs a new front tyre very soon and a fork seal is a bit weepy. £1000. If no interest, I'll fit a new tyre, change the fork seals, fit new front pads and float it in the Bay for a lot more than £1000!!
