    Hi
    Thoughts please and any advice welcome. Won this 1997 T509 Speed Triple on Ebay today. Was somewhat half hearted about it and never really committed to the bidding, more just nosing about as to how much she might go for, anyway i won her for £900. The bike has covered 45000 miles and has a small oil leak and the MOT has just run out. The guy selling her is off to South America next week and had nowhere to store her, but in the listing said she starts and runs fine, also first time I've ever bought a vehicle without viewing, but hey ho.

    Welcome, and looks half tidy to me!
    Lovely patch of oil below as you mentioned, are you sure it's not a BSA :p
    What's the plan with it?

    Welcome Shaun nice bike, as long as it's been regularly serviced the bike should easily do double that mileage without any problems :)
