FS: VFR750 with a year's ticket and full set of panniers

Unfortunately Steve's buyer has let him down regarding his 1100GS so my
VFR is still for sale. For those with short memories, here's the ad:

M-plate, 1 year MOT, taxed until the end of the month. Silver, with
black double bubble screen, Givi Wingrack and 3x Givi pannier. 41k on
the clock, bound to go up until I've got my K back. Not much in the way
of paperwork, though. I'm 99.5% sure it has Motad stainless downpipes
and collector box fitted as well - they certainly are made from
stainless steel...

Over the past year I've had it, it has had:

- New reg/rect (they all do that sir) & two batteries, 'cos the first
new one died thanks to the 'professional' repair the mechanics did.
- New OEM seat - original had a couple of tears, this one was cheap on
ebay *shrug*
- GB Moto bar raisers
- New OEM front disks and pads, plus good used rhs front caliper (good
used lhs one comes with the bike also). Original rhs disk was warped
due to seized caliper. And boy was that seized.
- New OEM rear pads. It has about 300-400 miles on the pads and front
disks
- Did an oil & filter, air & fuel filter + plug change when I got it,
it's due another oil change that I would try to sort out before the
buyer comes to pick it up, if I don't get around to it a new OEM oil
filter will come with the bike

It does come with the pillion seat cover, too, and for a UKRMer I'll
throw in a silver/grey Baglux tank cover as well. No idea how many POs
it has as I CBA to dig out the V5 at the moment.

MOT was with two advisories - rear tyre is down to 2mm, plus the front
lhs indicator had partially popped out (pushing it back in fixed the
latter, same method didn't work with the tyre).

I've mainly used it for commuting, so I've put on about 5-6k in year
and it was ridden through winter and as a result isn't pristine but
it's in pretty decent nick.

Bike is in Ashford, Kent. I'll take 1150 from a UKRMer. Email addy
above is valid if demunged but it's better if you use timo <at> the
same domain.

So your buyer let you down with the GS, huh?

Does that mean that it's still for sale?

Dreadful chain or dreadful houses?

Actually, I think I know the answer.

Well. Now.

See...

Timo's kind of circling around the BlingMobile[1]. You're interested in
his VFR. And I quite fancy a BeakyBike, for some odd reason[2].

As Bear suggests, doubtless a search will show that one of them's due to
become a new runway for Stansted, there are dodgy drains, or one of the
neighbours has an ASBO. Given that, a solution sort of suggests
itself...

[1] This can take a while.

Yebbut, last time I bought a shaft-drive bike from Steve, it tried to
kill me.

What's not to like?

Don't do anything rash until I've sobered up.

****, that went quick - a sure indication you should have BINd it
higher, but I suppose it's achieved the desired aim.

Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the
river cleaned out in a day.

It did, I think it was a fair price, guess I could've asked for a
little more but this was already right at the upper end of the TOG
valuation.

.... and matey collected it this evening. I kid you not. Seemed happy
enough with what he got, too.

Oooooh! Bad luck if you break the chain, mister.

Ackshirley, on reflection, I'm supposed to be clearing the garage out,
not restocking.

Steve? Sorry mate, I'm not buying the GS.
