    Fellow members,

    Some of you may remember how i came about a 3000 mile one owner blade in July and the minor problem i had in getting it going. Its now showing 4900 miles as i have been using it daily and boy has my commute been fun, what a little beauty this bike is. I have not had the need or space to take it above 5000 revs, there is just no need, besides im nearly 49 and just dont have the nerve to thrash a bike that is way beyond my capabilities.

    Im sure most people on the forum are aware of the bike and its performance and handling, so i wont bang on about these factors. The owner prior to me bought it brand new in 2002 and rode it until he parked it up in 2007. I spent a quite a bit on getting it back on the road.

    What is important is the original condition of the bike. I bought it with 3100 miles on the clock and the old MOT's show that it did about 300 miles i the past three years, hence the previous owner selling it to me.

    Most bikes this age have been messed about with or modified, this bike is like the day it left the factory, with the exception of the aftermarket exhaust, not a single thing has been changed/messed around with.

    There is one problem, a small crack to the left hand side fairing, i will get a picture posted soon.

    Im only selling as i have my eye on another bike. Im finding it difficult to put a firm price on the bike as all the ones i have seen are high mileage or not original. I am not in a rush to sell so wont be giving it away and would rather sell to a forum member before i put on the Bay of doom.

    Any questions feel free to get in touch.

    Are you sure that's a 2002 (945 RR2) model? It looks like a 2000-2001 (929) to me.
