Picked up my FZ1 today. Bike is in amazing condition.
All consumables are almost new and to my surprise it has a gear Indicator, power socket and Scottoiler

Nice one goodlad!
How long must we wait for the add-ons???:P

Ah there is only tiny cheap **** on the way... mostly.
The usual top yoke protector, frame plugs...

Only real expensive extras is the Exhaust which will be with me tomorrow.
Givi Rack will also be here tomorrow. And a Bagster tank cover wont be here for about a month.

Picked up some handguards too but will bee some slight adjusting of some stuff on the bars to mount em.

Only got out for about 15 minutes today. But will be using it daily starting tomorrow.

Mr Sheen!

Best of luck with the new bike Gary. It will look very well with the new exhaust.

Completed my IBT on Tuesday and after commuting to work Wednesday and Thursday I wanted to go on a longer trip so decided to head up the slieve bloom mountains. Really enjoying the whole experience of owning a bike so far. After today I think I could get into the touring side but that will have to be left until next year Trying to get out as much as I can before the weather changes for the worst.

Here is my 2012 SV650s at the top of The Cut

Nice clean bike ideal starter bike too, get as much experience with your current bike before thinking about upgrading.

Agreed.. I'm a big bloke and today's sports bikes are just too damned tiny for me.

Lovely 'blade.

Mind where you whack the throttle on her!
Hit the slightest bump when on the power and that 16" front wheel could easily have you in a big big tank slapper!

Fun bike that can give you hair raising moments!
Had loads of fun on the one I had! Enjoy!

Yeah it's all part of the fun. Not my first blade though. Handles like a baby compared to some of the beasts I've had. Gixer 1100 and GPZ 750 come to mind.

True, handling is in a different league to those alright.:)

This followed me home last weekend

Great motorway cruiser and at 365 kilos it truly is the yank tank of motorcycles

^^^ really nice.

I cant help but be reminded of Princess Leia dressed as a bounty hunter though.

TeaBagMania

The bounty hunter was most definitely a Harley rider.

This thing eats petrol; you can almost watch the petrol gauge move

My 250n, needs a bit of work !

As with everything I've restored monetary value takes a base seat

Is the joy in restoring back to its former glory not enough for you?
That 3rd pic brought a tear to my eye, the broken indicator just hangin in pure sadness,one of the exhausts is after giving up and just hangs there saying 'enough! I can't take anymore."
And to top it all off, the word "die" on it just to throw salt on its many many wounds!

If that didn't tug on the old heart strings, I feel sorry for ye cold hearted bàstards!:pac:

Not the 250N.. At best all I could say for them was that at the end of their life they made a half decent courier bike before dying a rusty death in someone's back garden or City Spares.
