[Wanted] MOTORBIKE
Just sold my 'bike as not getting much use at all (700 miles between MOT's ) but have decided not to hang helmet up for good and want to keep some wheels in the garage for that odd blat now and again
Open as to what it is but likely bigger cc = better (last 'bike was a tad under-powered - but I had changed to that from 187bhp BMW....) am thinking older Hinkley Triumph, 90's muscle (XJR1300, GSX1400, ZRX1200, etc.) or something 'interesting'.
Condition aces age/mileage.
Will not be a 'custom', 'race' bike (back/wrists no longer do that.....), 'a project' or basket-case
Budget is looking around £2000 but will go more for 'right' 'bike.
Anybody got anything?

That's gonna hurt when it goes.......
Not the most extreme riding position compared to some. I had an older one;
One of the few "regret" sales of a 'bike I've had over the years.
Currently following a couple of Trophy's as they offer great VFM
What you hoping to get for yours?

Currently I'm being sorely tempted by a newer bike on private sale, so at this point I'm half thinking on moving mine out.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
