    Looking to sell this classic Bonnie. One of around 370 bikes ever made. But the same stable as the electro and es models so most parts available. The bike is mot'd and with the decals refreshed it would be worth in the region of 8 to 10 thousand pounds. The only reason to sell is i won't ride it any more and it should be out there on the road. It does have some imperfections but is a terrific bike that is suitable for male or female riders and is comfortable. Any info just ask but first of all the electric start works well and the bike is still running on the oem electrics. I am looking for as close to my for sale price but will listen to sensible offers.Bank transfer will be used for the sale or good old cash. No oversea buyers unless here in presence. And cash before any test refundable. Looking for the closest to £7500 and won't haggle a lot.

    Yes if it sells. I really not to concerned if it sells or stays. I may ask my boy to store it in his double garage to give me more room. Plus I feel my old war wounds are catching up with me. My left shoulder and neck have been hurting now for a few months and the left elbow gets pins and needle like my head on the left side. I am going to see the doctor soon. But I think I know its prior spills and broken bits that have now said enough is enough. Zimmer Frame next.
    Regards
    Joe.

    I’m having the same problem myself Joe, left shoulder and neck are painful.
    I went to the doctors a couple of months ago about it and he told me to do so exercises which has helped, but its started again last week :worried:
    I don’t know if I’ve got cold in it with riding over winter :confused:

    Wonderful bike, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, when I first saw it I thought Kawasaki Z750

    TSX...worth every penny

    Been to the doctors today. She thinks in my case I have trapped a nerve. Now got to wait for a scan. Hopefully sortable as it is annoying now.

    Its a nice machine and as I said with some cosmetic work it would be a great bike. Really I want to keep them all but have run out of space these days and can't afford to tax and mot them all. Plus getting to old to keep tinkering these days.
    Regards
    Joe.

    I have decided that I may take a 675 speed triple as a part exchange for my bike. Preferably one with a blown engine as my Son has an engine to fit. And would like the twin pipe model if possible. Failing that I could exchange my Honda Hornet 06 model with new mot on it.
    Regards

    No never really put any effort into selling it. Put it in my garage and it has just sat there. I sometimes toy with selling or restoring it properly. But who knows where I will end up with it. I just love the idea it is all original and barely touched. Welcome to the family by the way. What do you ride your self.

    Thanks for the reply. I would still sell the bike if the offer was right. I must get it out and started. I do think it is burning a little rich at present as the last time I used it for the TOMCC 70 mile ride it was spluttering and losing the right cylinder from time to time always fired up again and di the ride and back home quite well. As I said it is good condition other than a few spots mark on the rear mudguard touched in very badly by me the tank Decal is starting to flake and come away in places. Couple little patch's on the tank I have bodged aswel and one on the front guard. If you drop a personal mail I could send you more pictures. The bike as far as I can make out has done less than 5000 miles. I have fitted a new clock but have the oem one which I don't like.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Just to keep you informed that I now have another interested party for £6500 as soon as I get the clutch sorted I have to let him know. Do think he's a dealer. But I get my money back almost. Forgot to say I moved the indicators as everyone says if you leave them on those lugs the lugs seem to snap of.
    Regards
    Joe.
