Starts. runs and rides well

 

The previous owner dropped bike off the stand and scuffed the fairing in a few places. with some pressure cracks around the right mirror. Damage is purely cosmetic and only to the right side of fairing. The reason he sold the bike is he lost confidence after that.

I?ˆ™ve just been riding and enjoying the bike with the scuffs for the past two years of ownership. The intention was to get the cosmetics re-finished. but with a young family time is limited. and I would rather ride out when I get spare time than spend that time fixing cosmetics.

Minor repair to silencer sleeve - done over a year ago. and has been fine ever since.

 

A quick add up of all the work done and parts replaced is easily more than the value of the bike. but that?ˆ™s the way it goes. Could strip and sell the parts for more than the complete bike will sell at.

Viewing not a problem.  Maybe a good winter project for someone to bring back to former glory.

 

Can send more pictures on request.

Cash on Collection. Sold as Seen. No returns.

Advertised elsewhere so reserve the right to end the auction early.

This is a 25+ year old classic bike despite all the work that's been done. so don't expect a new Fireblade when you turn up.
