My new crunchy piece...

Bargain of the century here, it's practicaly mint bar about 3 scratches and the mis-matched upper fairing, it's a seriously tidy bike with full service history and it's just had new tyres, brake pads, chain and sprocket, oil etc..!

I got her for a whole £2150




I've only ridden it down my drive way, it needs tax, MOT and a number plate, but I dropped the price from £2500 to £2150 so I can't complain!! It'll pass an MOT no problems whatsoever (other than race can)

It's weird to ride!! Having not ridden an IL 4 or a sports bike for well over a year it's gonna take some getting used to, it's also weird as it has an automatic choke so you gotta wait for the idle to settle /warm up before riding! Bit heavier than my old supermoto too..

Hoping to get it MOTed tomorow and taxed the day after so I should be out riding it before the end of week 8-)

I think it's because I posted the same topic in the USA section "pictures" as well as here. I know not everyone from here checks there so posted it here as well.

It's HPI clear, long story but in short, some bloke had it on a track day, crashed it, someone else bought it, fixed it up (only had light damage anyway) and made it mint was selling it for £3k but he saw I wanted it for stunting so said he'd put some spare fairings on from his track day bike (he had 3 cbr's and an xr650 supermoto!) so he dropped price to £2500 and we evnetually haggled down to £2150..

It's pretty much mint and yaeh when I find a red nose cone I'll change it over. looks a bit odd as it is

I really wanted to get a yellow seat unit for it, I reckon it'd look but like ya say, stands out to the so looking for a red fairing when possible.
