I’m looking for a new project as I’ve sold the Trans Am and want to give the Kat a break from being pulled apart this winter.
I’m want to build another fighter so looking for a crashed damaged sports bike or an abandoned project.
Here are my criteria:
max £1000
above 750cc
newer then the Kat – so 1990s onwardsI’ve always fancied a Twin so I’ve been looking at TL1000s (a little bit above my price range) and TRX850s. Saying that although I’m not a big H**da fan I quite like the look of the early Fireblades when they have been fightered. Also a Gixxer 7/11 would be nice.
Bottom line is I’m flexible/picky so has anyone got anything suitable lurking in their shed?

September 23, 2008 at 5:03 pm #56620imperialdataKeymasterYou could have a peek at the Bike Forum’s portal page here Select ‘Buy a bike’ from the menu and then ‘Ebay less than £500’. It lists the auctions by finish time (soonest first). I’ve seen a couple go very cheap now the weather is naff.

Thanks Id I’ll give it a try.

October 5, 2008 at 4:03 pm #56624katanaParticipantJust bought a very low mileage and completely standard 1995 Fireblade from forum member Gordy. Haven’t got any pictures yet as the ones I took of it with my phone were crap.
Just got to figure out how to get it from Norwich to Evesham.
Now out to clear a space in the garage for it.

Welcome to the forum
Do you have any pics of the bike?
What will it need for the MOT?
