14N Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Hi All, Yes, I appreciate that a car enthusiast forum is not exactly my target audience but I thought I'd open this up to you guys first before I go down the eBay, timewaster, dreamer and tyre kicker route. I've decided (reluctantly) to sell my immaculate Suzuki GSXR750 SRAD. She's a '98 on S reg with 18.5k miles. Part SH as I've done all the maintenence and oily bits myself. I've only done around 300 miles on her in the last 2 years, funnily enough, the same amount of time I've had my Zed. Genuine reason for sale - confirmed Zeditis. Not gonna waffle on with full ad details, as I said, most of you have no interest in anything with less than 4 wheels (although this is rear wheel drive) It will be MOT'd this week and also taxed from 1st June. I'm inviting offers around the £2000 mark as I think this reflects the fantastic condition. Please drop me a PM if you are interested and would like any more detail. Thanks for looking, Ian Edited May 26, 2014 by 14N 1 Quote

14N Posted May 26, 2014 Author Posted May 26, 2014 Cheers guys. I'll get some better pics once its taxed and tested. I just fitted a new battery and pulled it out the garage to run her upto temp and take those pics. Quote
gsexr Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Nice looking bike matey. I`m a two wheel man so any pics you wanna share keep em coming. Quote
KC350Z Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Shame Ian I have seen this bike in person and the pictures don't do the condition justice,would not look out off place in the show room Edited May 26, 2014 by KC350Z Quote
PMX Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Hi Ian, the bike looks great!! don't sell it Even if you don't use it much, it's always nice to have it there when you do (I think my record was 35 miles in one full calendar year including the trip to get it MOT'd ) Trying to use my bike more this year but difficult when you have a zed.....

My sentiments exactly! I managed 40miles between MOT's last year, and I'm on for beating that this year with a current total of .......... Errrr 0miles 😳 Quote
14N Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Well, I took my bike for its MOT today. Intention was to get 12 months on it, tax it on Monday then start the 'For Sale' shenanigans. This was the intention until I'd been riding if for about 5 mins. Overtaken a number of cars and filtered to the front of a queue at a set of lights, and then reminding myself at just how ridiculously fast these things accelerate once the lights went green I can't sell it. Insurance is £80 fully comp. tax is about £50 (I think). Even if its left in the garage for another year, 'knowing' its there if the urge takes me is worth more than the price I'd get for it. And if I did sell it and miss it, there's no way I'd get something as tidy for the sub £2k mark. So I'm pleased to say, I ain't hanging my leathers up just yet. 6 Quote
ioneabee Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I passed my bike test 31 years ago on a 125cc Honda - never had a bike since, but never got rid of the itch I think I could kill myself quite easily on one of these considering the fact its been 30 odd years, but could still go out on a 1000cc Quote
