    Sold........

    Just looking at a few options and before I part ex, I thought I would try on here.

    1 previous owner, who lives 3 doors away, he bought it from new, in his 60's and went riding round Scotland a bit hence the mileage.
    image.jpeg image.jpeg
    24,800 miles
    Mot May, but I will put 12mths on
    Non ABS so no horror stories with the system
    Full serv history, was genuine Honda to 20,000 miles, Teasedale motorcycles did the last one when I bought it and I did an oil and filter 100 miles ago with gen filter, also had coolant change over winter as well.
    I bought last May and done 1600 miles since, where it had...
    Wheels enamelled gold, new tyres, new wheel bearings, service, fry b pads.
    I replaced the rear shock with a brand new 0 miles one and also had the frt forks serviced and set up to 13-14st via Alpha Suspension...It rides superb.

    Power bronze hugger, screen, tail tidy and seat cover

    Beyond the mileage this bike is spot on and unlike some other 15-20k bikes, it's had everything done, low owners who neither have ridden the bike hard.

    It's not on finance and never had damage, everything is either original or very new

    Pics attached only been out once this year, I'm looking now for something a bit newer, may be another blade or Speed Triple.

    Pic was last week

    I have been offered very close to this Px so no daft offers please

    I really hope people can look past the mileage and see the condition - you live in part of the county where long rides on a weekend day are possible (think in the 300+) which folk in the south east cannot imagine doing.

    That engine and gearbox are barely run in at that mileage - I know from experience and engineer reports my engine at 80,000 was pretty much immaculate / perfect other than the specific damage caused by a foreign object which had NOTHING to do with the miles / age of the bike / engine.

    Good luck with the sale, but honestly, I'd be looking to put 2012+ suspension front and rear (YorkshireGooner can supply this) on that bike and keep it as its stunning.

    Agree with the above, that's only 18 to 24 months commuting mileage, so only just run in IMO. GLWS

    Tbh it's not high mileage at all! If the average rider does 3-4K miles a year and it's 7 years old it's mileage is about right

    Have seen dealers charging more for bikes with same age and mileage

    Good luck with the sale great looking bike!
