  3. Hello and welcome Dave. Lockwiring to many is a preferred look.
     
  4. I very much doubt it, it looks like the std ratio rear sprocket, nothing special.

  5. It's mentioned here post 8488 onwards - Louigi Moto have a good reputation... lock-wiring is done for fashion on many bikes.

  7. Probably out of my price range looking to spend up to about 8k
     
  8. Thanks for all the advice. Does this bike look like it's worth 7k. Checked the mot history and it's hardly used from 2006
     
  9. Hi and welcome to the forum. :)
     
  10. Compared to what's on the market at the moment it looks good. Check they plastics for repair on the inside and check the date stamps on the panels to confirm it's as it left the factory - should be a good buy. Remember it's a private sale as it's a customers bike so probably no warranty... worth a look for sure before it gets snapped up :):upyeah:
     
  11. Looks tidy. Check where the clip-on locating pin slots into the triple-clamp for any damage, may indicate if its gone down.
     
  12. We have two threads the same :eyes:
