Sadly the South Wales buyer was a window shopper only in the end, so it's still for sale. Unsurprisingly at this time of year, prospective buyers for an impractical but fun toy are not plentiful.

Nice. I'd like that, except for I'll be on a strict curfew as Saturday is my son's birthday and he's home from uni specially, so if I don't make it back by the required deadline I'll be toast.
-
You'd probably ride one more than you think. My "big bike" (relatively) didn't get much action once I got the mini bike.
-
Cheers mate. Yeah, it's certainly got something about it. Would love to keep it, but rich man I am not.
Looks like I'll be hiring a van this weekend to take it to a new life in South Wales. Likely buyer seems awesome so that's good.

Thank you. It really is a lovely thing. And I'll be sad when it goes. That said, I do need to sell it, so the lfgss price would be £3,200. I think any lower than that and I'll find a way of keeping it.
There are cheaper monkeys for sale but I think the rare colour scheme, Yoshi low age/mileage and remainder of the service plan make mine worth the extra. -
Thruxton RS incoming.
Forum "mates rates" available on my Monkey, which sadly has to make way for the incoming bike.
DM me if you fancy a deal...

That's one lucky yoot.

Completely agree. But it looks good and more critically it does ensure any drivers not paying attention for small hard to see motorcycles have no excuse for not knowing you're there.
I wouldn't have changed out the stock exhaust personally, but it probably did make me buy this bike second hand vs the other stock second hand bikes available at the same price.

It's not my preference either. It looks OK on the standard paint jobs as it adds a bit of interest. I think the tartan harks back to the original monkeys.
But on this bike the tartan is certainly overkill with the custom paint. I actually wanted a 2022 model in blue but this came up with a full system Yoshimura, a service plan included and a good price, so snapped it up. Picked it up last weekend with only 125 miles on the clock. Which I doubled in the first 3 days.
Really enjoying it and it's the perfect foil for my big(ger) bike. Did my first foray off road tonight.
Just need to find a black seat now...
Yeah, a lovely gent local ish to me came and saw it in the flesh. Understandably he wanted to view it before committing. I'd barely opened the garage and he was thrusting a cash deposit in my hand! He could tell right away that it was mint and just wanted it.
Delighted it's going to proper motorbike enthusiast. He's well into his 70s and has been riding over 60 years! He's returning tomorrow with a friend with a van to collect it. Bitter/sweet for me as I've loved riding it, but I'm delighted with my Thruxton which wouldn't have been possible without selling the monkey.
