Last weekend I was winterising the 2mg FZ I've used as a commuter since 1993, thinking that I should retire the poor old bugger - I'd more or less decided to look for a pre-VTec VFR 800 or an F800GS next year. I noticed a weep from the coolant pipes at the back of the block and decided to fix it. Went down to the tiny local bke shop for a couple of o-rings, walked through the door and was looking at a near mint 2000 VFR with 11000 miles on it. They'd bought it in the day before and I now own it. The upshot is that I need garage space and the FZ will have to go. I'll post more details later but the broad facts are; 57000 miles, tatty but reliable, loads of spares (no engine bits - I'm keeping the race bike) Taxed to the end of the year, MOT till July, £400. I know this bike better than my own face and if anyone on here wants it I'll give them chapter and verse on what's been done and what I know needs doing. I'm getting a bit emotional now...

There are pictures here: picasaweb.google.com/FZ750Horse/CommuterFZ#Good bits: Recent (within last year) battery, chain, sprockets. Recent service of wheel bearings, suspension linkages, brake and clutch fluid, brake calipers, coolant. PZM race wheels, braided hoses, K&N filter and FZR1000 airbox, progressive fork springs (forks rebuilt with new stanchions about 5 yearsago). Predator SS exhaust (ignore the OE one in the photos - I just checked it and it's for an FZR1000 ). Spare front end, shock, wheels odds and sods - there's more if I can find it. Bad bits: Rear shock knackered, fairing lowers and mudguard plastics knackered. Repair to lower engine casing under clutch. 57000 miles wear and tear.

'Tis gone I'm converted to Gumtree though - 5 buyers contacted me within 12 hours, sold for the asking price in less than 24 hours and it didn't cost me anything Keep a look out for it Allie - it went to a bloke from Worthing...
