i wasn't. but i am now. just for the laugh like ;)

Why I oughta...

Hey CB :)
I think it's absolutely perfect for everyday riding (though I'm not on it anything like every day). When I test rode it my wrists went numb, but I figured I'd get used to it. I realised that, because it's a 'sports' bike, you need to engage your body more, sort of drive it from your core, if you know what I mean. It took me a couple of hundred miles to get truly comfortable on it, and I love it. But I may have to sell... my peanuts have been squeezed, see...
Perfectly reliable, btw, Ducati sorted that shit out long ago... (Japanese electrics nowadays I believe)

just had a peek at some of them on mcn, cheapest one was going for 4.5K, am seriously thinking of part exchanging my sv1000s, for one. I'd heard the eletricals had been sorted, but just wanted to be reassured. Loving the exhasts on it as well, what year is your model? did they make any significant changes from when it was first sold to now?

i reckon that last 1 mite be stolen

^Post that in the stolen bikes thread..
No size mentioned, nor the fact it has SPD pedals when the listing says 'road pedals with clips'.
and only £130 for a 4 month old ridgeback genesis flyer?!
p.s. - when posting links in this thread it is good netiquette to mention what the link points to so that dozens of people don't click on it needlessly.
p.p.s - yes I have too much time on my hands - the database here is sloow.

Me too, only the one though:

beautiful!

Is it a super renown? If not I'm not interested.

I guess not dodgy if the seller has sent that back, but still not worth £300.

£250 is about the money I reckon as the frame doesn't look in the best of shape.

those were thoughts on it as well, i'll go along and give him some haggling support.

already £102 with over 3 days to go. That's going to be expensive!

i just bid on it and i don't even like it. but as it's for someone else i don't really care. don't know what but something doesn't look quite right about it. might just be the paintjob
