eBay 'specials' and other junk finds

A place to bang on about subjects close to your heart that affect us all as 400cc riders. general banter is rife, however rudeness and abuse seem to be the norm, If a bit wet round the ears best go play elsewhere. Auto pruning of items 31 days and older

Re: Rvf prices.. HOW MUCH..

Don't be suckered by these high internet asking prices - bikes may never be sold for this money. I scored a clean RVF, 18k kilometres for £2.2 a month ago.
And if you give me £3.5, it's yours!!

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

It's only down the road. Do I take pity on the bike and bring it home under the cover of tarpaulins?

Not at that price though. Half that maybe......


EDIT: I've offered £100 on the basis that everything apart from the engine, frame and wheels is scrap :twisted:
