  1. I'm coming to the realisation that having 5 bikes is probably a bit much for me, so am tentatively putting this advert up for my 748.

    It currently has just over 10,000 genuine miles, quite a bit of history, including original bill of sale and all manuals. Has just has a belt replacement service (Aug 2020)

    Services
    1000 miles in 1997
    2500 miles in 1998
    6500 miles in 2000
    9500 miles in September 2018
    10500 miles in August 2020

    The September 2018 service was a huge £2000+ recommissioning service as the bike was in storage for a number of years. Brand new Michelin tyres last year with only a few hundred miles on since. New front pads just fitted. I am happy to put a fresh MOT on it if desired. I have done 750 miles in my ownership with no issues at all, and it is still in use so mileage may rise slightly.

    It's a lovely genuine and honest bike, and as such has a few minor marks on the fairings which I have tried to capture in the pictures. The front wheel appears to have had brake fluid spilt on it in the past so could do with refurbishing. Has carbon Termi exhausts + originals to turn it back totally standard if desired. Rides great and always starts first time.

    Asking price reduced to £5000

    Hertfordshire

  5. Thanks, it took me a while to find a nice, honest low mileage example with the early graphics as they don't tend to come up too often.

    There is one up for £5k with twice the miles on ebay, but I don't really know what they are selling for at the moment, just how much it would take for me to sell it

  12. Didn’t think these were small but looks very similar in size to the CBR250 next to it

  13. Stunner!, I’ve just sold one and therefore gone down to 5, so take that as permission to keep it if you want :)

  16. Not so much choosing over but this is the one worth the most and used the least.

    Royal Enfield Classic 500
    Honda CBR400RR (track bike)
    Honda CBR250RR
    Suzuki TS50 restoration project (first ever bike)

  19. That's the cleanest early 748 I've seen in a long time, best graphics. Good luck with sale
