Description

 This is a reluctant sale for me. I bought this bike with the intention of using it to commute my 60 mile round trip. and to get a European tour in before I retire from biking. I have achieved the first part of that. I have commuted this bike for the last 15 months and enjoyed the experience immensely. this bike is just so good. As for the second part. sadly I have been advised to quit riding such a big bike due to the loss of muscle mass that I am suffering. So now you know why - on to the what. This bike is good to go on a tour today. it is Mot'ed until next June. with no advisories. has a recently fitted new front tyre and a new clutch cable. This is all it has needed in the last year (apart from fuel). Speaking of fuel. for a big bike it is not too shabby. Last fill up came in at 49mpg. the tank has a range of over 200 miles (unless you cane it) and the best I have managed is 235 miles before I gave in and filled it. the fuel gauge is very useful. as is the low fuel warning light. As usual with these bikes. the ABS warning light is a bit hit and miss. The trick is to start up. set off down the road. once warmed up. stop. switch off and restart and the ABS lights reset OK. There are a couple of ways to fix it permanently. but it has not bothered me enough to warrant doing any of them. The Satnav is a Garmin Zumo 500 Deluxe. This is from the website - "Garmin zumo 500 Deluxe designed for bikers. features a superbright sunlight readable glove-friendly 3. 5-inch display with preloaded maps for UK and Ireland a full 8-digit UK postcode search. The Garmin zumo 500 Deluxe also features twin Bluetooth connection for hands free calling. in-helmet voice guidance and to listen to music with the zumo's MP3 player. The Garmin zumo 500 Deluxe also comes complete with Eastern and Western European maps via Mapsource City Navigator NT DVD which can be transfered to the zumo 500 Deluxe. The Garmin zumo 500 Deluxe also provides access to speed camera locations"I have the box it came in. along with some other fittings. so it can be removed and used on another bike if you wanted to. Of course if the satnav is of no interest to you. I could remove it for you. I have fitted a taller. wider screen (which happens to be tinted) as I am a tall rider. If you are not so tall. I can refit the original (non-tinted) screen if you prefer. If you have any questions. please feel free to ask. If you have a low feedback. get in touch before you bid as I may cancel your bid if you don't. I will not accept American Express (or any other) kind of payment. only cash. nor will I accept a bigger payment by cheque and then give you cash as well as the bike. I am not in a position to deliver unless you pay me in full up front. and then pay my expenses as well. Don't bother me if you are a Nigerian prince with a fortune to give me. as I have too many similar offers to consider already. Oh. and happy bidding everyone!
