Well, I have before.. But not like this.

I've gone from this


To this


And finally to this


The latter is a 600cc Bandit chop/bobber. Quite a nice one too. Monoshock soft tail, forward controls.. Needs a little bit, but should prove to be fun for a while.

Mart !what have you done your poor bike!

Looks down hill all the way to me. I'd stick to digging out the classic bargains.

All worth about the same, which was the name of the game really. With the people an contacts I've got, I stand a better chance making money on the bobber.. Believe it or not.

The ZZR was really good, though it was a bit too heavy on the wrists for me. Two up it was a bit of a slog in the bends. The BMW, well, it's a 'flying brick'.. Say no more really. The bobber is a bit of fun until it's time to move on in the spring.

TBH I quite like it ... Not that that matters ;)

you surprise me. I would have thought, on no better info that the piccies, that the kwak would be worth way more than the bandit. But then somewhere in my psyche, perhaps from a motor dealer dad, is the idea that standard is always worth way more than messed about with.

All three above are worth about £1300. Considering I paid £900 for the ZZR, I'd call that a good return.

Im liking the softail Bandit, pity the lump is 600cc undersize...
You will sell that in spring with no bother at all, a wannnabee fairweather will have that.
Anyway, fun is what its about isnt it ?
PS a second glance, a 1200 lump with forward control pegs would be a 'mare' to ride.
Lot of work been done there, slab top yoke, few nice touches but needs a few more to make it top notch, think seperate seats would enhance imo,
deffo good for a bit of a pose !

that zzr looks to be worth far more than £900. must be a flattering photo.

Near side fairing was all scuffed up where the previous owner dropped it. Doh!
