1991 YAMAHA XT225 SEROW FULLY REBUILT & LOW MILEAGE SUPERB CONDITION!!!

Description

THIS LISTING IS FOR A YAMAHA XT225 SEROW WHICH I BOUGHT IN SEPTEMBER 2013 FOR HER TO RIDE ONCE SHE HAD PASSED HER TEST.  DURING THE WINTER I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TIME AND EFFORT REBUILDING THIS BIKE TO A SUPERB SPEC AS I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A KEEPER. SEEING AS ITS THE ONLY THING SHE CAN FIT ON. WELL WHAT A BLOODY WASTE OF TIME THAT WAS. SHE GAVE UP IN THE END AND DIDN'T GET PAST HER CBT.  I WOULD KEEP IT FOR MYSELF BUT I AM OVER 6 FOOT AND THE BIKE IS TINY. WHEN I ADDED UP THE SPEND ON THIS BIKE IT STANDS ME AT SOMEWHERE AROUND ?3180 WHICH I WILL NEVER GET BACK. HOWEVER IF SOMEONE OUT THERE WANTS A BIKE THAT IS FULLY SORTED PLEASE BE MY GUEST. I AM SO PISSED OFF LOOKING AT THIS IN MY GARAGE. THE BIKE IS A JAPANESE IMPORT AND I BOUGHT IT OFF A LOVELY MIDDLE AGED CHAP WHO WAS A MEMBER OF THE TRF. IT BELONGED TO A LADY FRIEND OF HIS BEFORE THAT. I THINK THE OWNER BEFORE HER WAS THE SHOP THAT IMPORTED AND REGISTERED IT. THE BIKE WAS IN GOOD USED CONDITION WHEN I GOT IT BUT THE REASON I BOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE VERY LOW MILEAGE. WHICH IS BACKED UP BY THE MOTS. THE BIKE WAS FULLY REBUILT WITH FRAME. SWINGARM AND OTHER METALWORK POWDER COATED AT TRIPLE S IN BINGLEY. CABLES. BEARINGS. GEAR LEVER ASSY. CHAIN. SPROCKETS. CLUTCH. BRAKE PADS AND ANY OTHER WEARABLE ITEM RENEWED. FITTED RENTHAL BARS. PAD GRIPS. SYMTEC UNDER GRIP HEATERS.  CLARKE PLASTIC TANK. WIDE OFF ROAD FOOT PEGS. CONTINENTAL ULTRA HD TUBES. PRO-LITE RIM LOCKS. MIRRORS AND BEAUTIFUL SM PRO MX RIMS WITH S/STEEL SPOKES. SEAT LOWERED AND RECOVERED. BIKE WAS FULLY SERVICED UPON COMMISSIONING TOO.  I HAVE RIDDEN AROUND ON THE BIKE SINCE THE REBUILD AND IT IS PERFECT AND RUNS LIKE CLOCKWORK. I REDUCED THE HEIGHT OF THE SEAT AS MY WIFE WAS STRUGGLING TO REACH THE GROUND. THIS MEANS THAT MY LARDY ARSE COMPRESSES THE SEAT RIGHT DOWN TO THE BASE BUT I AM 15 STONE. MY WIFE SAID IT FELT JUST FINE WHEN SHE TRIED IT THOUGH. IF THE BIKE SELLS I WILL PUT A YEARS MOT ON IT. AS THE BIKE IS MINT ANS THE ROADS ARE FULL OF SALT THERE WILL BE NO TEST RIDES. I KNOW THAT THE BIKE IS IN SUPERB RUNNING ORDER AND OF COURSE ONCE THE DEAL IS DONE IF YOU RIDE IT AND CAN FIND ANY FAULT YOU CAN HAVE YOUR MONEY BACK - OBVIOUSLY! :-)I HAVE HAD IDIOTS IN THE PAST WANTING TO LARK AROUND ON ONE OF MY BIKES TO SEE WHAT ITS LIKE THEN SAYING IT WASN'T THEIR CUP OF TEA. AS I AM SURE YOU KNOW - IF YOU WANT ONE OF THESE BIKES THEN YOU HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. YOU WILL WITHOUT ANY DOUBT FIND CHEAPER ONES OR EVEN NEWER ONES BUT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE ON MINE. EVERY MOVING PART OR COMPONENT HAS BEEN RENEWED. REFURBISHED OR UPGRADED. THE WHEELS WHICH ARE THE WEAK SPOT ON THESE BIKES HAVE BEEN UPGRADED AND WILL LAST A LIFETIME. THEY ARE WORTH ?700 ON THEIR OWN.  NOTE: MILEAGE ON LISTING IS IN MILES BUT THE SPEEDO IS IN KM HENCE THE HIGHER READING IN THE PICTURE OF THE SPEEDOTHE SPECI KEEP A LOG FOR ALL MY BIKES DETAILING ANY WORK CARRIED OUT. I HAVE COPIED AND PASTED IT BELOW. I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS FOR THE PARTS I BOUGHT AND FITTED AS  LISTED BELOW AS WELL AS A FOLDER THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER GAVE ME FULL OF OLD RECIEPTS AND MOTS TOO
