have no way of getting to you...if i paid any chance of getting it delivered?

[Cold Snail]

Where abouts down south are you?
I have a van, but got to think of the juice situation this weekend as it's my workhorse.

If it's any use, I do live right next to a main line station linked to London.

Another pic (^^^there's one in the previous post edit^^^)

is it road legal?

[devon-tony]

Im down south but tis a big place LOL

wish I could get over for that KLR would tear your arms off for that

anyway Im in north devon

got yam 600 diversion R plate MOT jan, Tax october, excellent reliable half faired etc bike, needs front tyre but the bike is mot and tax

£450 would be ideal, its here with V5 in my name all ready for sale should it be wanted

£12 tank of fuel does about 165 mile range so cheap to run

just to add rear tyre is fine, breaks are all good, never failed to start on the button, stainless jama pipes, to be honest not bothered about selling as I intended to keep it as my work hack, but as with anything that sort of money would make a big difference to my next project

[Cold Snail]

is it road legal?

Yup, the tyres are MT21's which are 90% off road biased, but still legal on road.
I've been running around on it over the last week (still running it in) to save using the van.

Tony's diversion would be the sensible choice for road use, but the KLR does a great job greenlaning when you get bored of tarmac :D

[Biker-Kitty]

my bmw off roads when ever needed, but if nned be sell the KLR to Tony.


and tony have you any pics?

[Biker-Kitty]

cold snail, i don't mean to muck you about but like you said tony's bike would be better for a road run around.

[Cold Snail]

No problem mate, I'm buying a forth KLR tomorrow.
I must be obsessed with the bloody things :D

[devon-tony]

uploading pics now, will post a link asap

anyway

tax till end of october
mot till january 10th

32841 miles, mot was donne with 31625 miles showing

rear tyre is fine, front is not good, tyre is £50 so thats why I have got the price lower to account for it, needs doing sooner rather than later as the bike has a bit of a bar wobble at 55mph

bike is datatagged, 2 original ignition keys, mots back to 03 and original yamaha owners handbook

fork seals are good, rear shock and linkages etc are good,

other than the tyre, the ONLY other thing "wrong" is the bulb has gone in the neutral light, so you have to have the sidestand up and clutch lever in to start as it doesnt know its in neutral

seat is untorn, the fairing has a scuff up the right hand side, previous owner run it along the wall on way into his garage apparantly??

where abouts are you?

as promised

the zzr is my latest toy, thats got full mot as of last night but no tax and not got the logbook back yet so cant sell it yet.

the divvy is nothing fancy but you wont lose money on it, its an ideal hide it in the garage or behind the shed till the winter and then use it :)

I will happily keep it but as I said sold the trike, new project buildlist being compiled and some extra cash would come in handy

where abouts in the south are you?

[Biker-Kitty]

i am in winchester, hampshire, my partner used to have a diversion, have a bmw f650 gs but in shop for major probs with circuit board,

so this will be a second bike,

if we up the price could you get front tyre done? also are the head bearings ok? as a common prob with diversions.

[devon-tony]

Hi sorry cant sort the tyre or get it to you, but good luck with your quest


try autotrader and adtrader website, they go on there immediately saves waiting for them to come out in print

bloody addict. i dont know how you find them!!!:D

actually, i bought a bike from coldsnail last month, and i went down to london by coach and then down to tunbridge wells by train, and rode the bike back up to preston, total cost for tickets to get down to him was only 35 quid, so its not like it would cost a lot to go get it!!

it is the question of getting it to me, have the cash waiting, but cannot get to anywhere further than about 5 miles from me, so need to be delivered, will pay of course for company or if you do have your own van/trailer then petrol money and a bit extra to say thanks.
