The wife has finally conceded that the Fut is just a bit too big for her and has decided to sell it, so if anyone is looking for a low mileage (19k), good order Fut give me a shout and I will give you details.

Cheers

That's a shame! Hope you find a good home for it.

Thanks for that Mart, I will

damn shame the futs cannot be radically lowered - think ken still likes them.....

Yes, its not the actually riding of it that's the problem, we did over 600miles this weekend, me on a ZZR14 and my mate on his BMW K1300S and she was right up there, in fact I was really surprised because we were pushing on (if you know what I mean ), no, its the low speed manoeuvring, its just too tall for her. Its a shame because its a good bike.

Hmmmm ..... modification time


Anyone thought of fitting a set of wheels from one of these ......

Have you considered a lowering kit? Also , a cut-down seat? - an example of which I happen to have in the attic

futura lowering kit..... how much lower?

Six months too soon for me. I'll be after one in the spring!

give me a deposit and we will keep it for you

hehe, whats the details??

Ideally I'm after the grey/black colour, luggage, good nick, all the usuals sorted and not intergalactic mileage.

Oh, and a purchase price of 50p and a packet of Chewits

Red, has luggage(although sporting a kind of orange tint following a botched respray by the previous owner, just the panniers mind, not the bike!) 19,000miles but in daily use so that will creep. heated grips, starts first time. Not sure about the mods, you would have to specify and I would have to check, she has only had it for a few months and only had it serviced and fuelled, no mods done by us. A couple of minor scratches on the fairing but otherwise in great order. Wont let it go for chewits, she is more a kind of Ferrero Rocher type of woman, so if you are serious, and can raise just a bit more the 50p (and chocs mind) then let me know and I will send you full details, pictures etc.

Cheers

That red looks fantastic in sunlight - almost blazing. Stands out really well. Ideally, needs a little subtle gold bling to set it off.

Hello chap - I've dropped you a PM
