Want one

#1 Post by Willopotomas » Sun Oct 12, 2014 12:14 pm

For those who skip the Classified section, I've copied the text below. :smt001

Yeh, you heard me right. I miss the v-twin grunt, but not the hunched over riding style. I'm swapping the ZZR1100 for a BMW K1100LT, so will have that as a bargain tool or to sell to raise funds. I've also got two K100's on eBay to help build the coffers.

So. W.H.Y?
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

I assume you need luggage capability otherwise I'd suggest a Tuono. BTW I transformed my ZZR1200 by fitting 30mm bar risers. So much better it's untrue. :smt001

Am I missing something or do you want to buy a Futura. I have one bought new and fitted with a Maxton shock and panniers.

Now you're just shoeing off ;)

I am indeed in the market for a Futura. I've agreed to go and see Martdude first. However, in the event we're not able to close a deal, I'll send you a message.

you planned for this will?? got a truss yet or??


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
