Yamaha XJ600, pre-Diversion, 1989 'F' reg, Spares or Repair. No reserve.

Spares or repair. for sale is my 1989 Yamaha XJ600 (pre-diversion model). Red fairing. no MoT. no tax (SORN'ed until 01/01/2015). not started in a long while but I've no reason to believe it won't start with a new battery & fresh fuel. and a bit (lot) of cranking. Bike is to be collected from Bath (near to BA2 2PP) on Saturday 25/10/2014. between 12:00 and 16:00. Bought in January 2002. I rode this bike for a year. 'til it failed it's MoT in November 2002. I can't recall the failure. but I suspect it was pitted forks. It then went to the back of a garage. where it's languished since - I had another bike and didn't need both.  By now. I would expect the brake disks to be fairly rusted (but possibly recoverable with some emery cloth) and the chain will almost certainly be past repair. It was last moved in 2012. when it was pushable (once the tyres had been pumped back up again - they were still partially inflated but soft. not bad after around 6 years!). Mileage in November 2001 (at MoT) was 45812. so I'd expect the mileage now to be less than 50k. Work & life in general got in the way of ever getting it back on the road. and now I really need the space. so it's for sale as is.  It's been sat in a (watertight) rented garage. out of sight & out of mind. since 2011 when I moved out of the area. The garage is now being sold. and I need to empty it out and all the old projects need to be sold of as is :o(Pictures are as bought in 2002 - there's been just under a year of riding and 12 years of garage (no use) since then: I don't think the overall condition has changed much - it's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination but it's OK last time I saw it (2013). The top box is not included with the bike. Sold as seen. cash prefered but will also take PayPal.
