Well what on earth can I say about this fugly bugger?. Here for sale I have the mother of all winter hacks; 2001 Suzuki GSXF 600 FYTHE GOOD STUFF:40. 40 miles. just bedded in11. 5 months MOTSweet running motor with no knocks. bangs. funny noises. nothing. Brand new rear shock fitted for MOTRecent new fork sealsRecent new head bearingsNearly new tyresRides really well and handles good toVery comfy seat and riding position with a beautiful back support when you stop at the lightsWorlds largest topbox fashioned from an aircraft case and solid bolted on to the bike. just think how many pizzas you could fit in it if you applied at Pizza Hut with your own bike (topbox can be removed if required though)Additional capacity for carrying. in the form of the free Oxford pannier bagsOxford heated grips fitted and fully workingAftermarket exhaust fitted (and painted black) which gives a real throaty sports bike soundIts big. bulbous. and fugly. so who would want to nick it?Has been used through winters so no need to worry about keeping shiny bits shinyHas probably the worlds most technologically advanced. multi-coloured. double bubble screenThe list is just endless reallyBAD BITS:Well every bike has them. even this one would you believe. Previously a CAT D in 2006 . lets face it though. if you were an insurance company and a pristine one of these came in. you would still think it was beyond economical cosmetic repairSmall dint in tank. around where the stickers are placed which I assume is to take your eyes away from the dintIts big fat and ugly. no. that was a plus point wasn't it! Scratch that one!Has a euro headlight unit fitted so beam bounces up wrong direction. Can be easily solved as we did for the MOT with some tape. but the tape we used has now come off (probably didn't want to be associated with the bike)Its got some signs of rust and various bumps and scrapes on the bodyworkBasically it is what it is; a good solid. reliable. and safe bike that is mechanically sound but cosmetically challenged. Cheap and totally usable as a winter hack or daily rider. or as a project bike for you to mess about with and try improve the cosmetics of if you wanted.
