got myself a new toy

Post by cargo »

I've just bought a 1997 L model
Better than that it's a SP :smt003

I plan to use it for the summer then sell it..........maybe even break it
I'll bung up a picture when I've picked it up tomorrow.

Had my new toy a while now and it seems fine I did have a few minor problems but now it runs just great.
I have to say that it's a little daunting facing traffic on a bike again after so long but i'll get used to it.
Question is whats it worth ? It is a 1997 L model and is is definatly a SP it has the carbs, ignition box, suspension and the gear box feels like the close ratio one on my race bike the only thing I'm not certain about is the camshafts .
The only mods from standard seem to by cosmetic morrors indicators screen and a few gold coloured ally bolts
So what IS it worth cos it will be for sale and I will break it if need be. 28000 miles on it................it does seem to have a mph clock having said that there is a little red box connected to the speed ???????

I recon maybe you could get 1700 to 2000 quid maybe more to be fair its a nice lookin bike. depends on any damage etc. i think if you find the right person you will sell easy.
Remember speed kills, so does smoking, drinking, drugs, fast food and many more good things
