She runs well – look stunning – and from the photos you can tell she only done 3900 miles. I don't have a tool kit or the service log – I saw a original tool kit on Ebay for £150 – worth it in the long run. The paint work is generally very good – but if you wanted to make her concourse – you need a paint job by someone like dream machine. Taking in to consideration the money I have spent to bring her up to A1 mechanically – take that off and your getting a low mileage GE1 for just 18k – you can rider away with the peace of mind that every that needed going was done.
She has a few small scratches and bumps – but she is nearly 36/37 years old. I have two keys – Log book in my name some old MOTs – and receipts. Why am I selling her – just 2 busy – I started my own company – I don't get the time to rider her – I don't have to sell her – but she looks a sad an lonely in my garage – I in my 50ths so I will let her go to a new home.
So the asking price is £20k there going up in price and a good investment. She in in Somerset about 3 miles from J23 on the M5. No tyre kickers – dreamers – and there are no free rides until the money via Bank Transfer is in my account I think the first to see her will probably buy her OH she has a reg plate that shows the bike was originally supplied by Craigs Honda at some point in her life.
