the bike has NO issues just ready for summer fun!

this is just the tip of the iceberg, as you will realise if you read through the project thread...

the paintwork is nothing short of immaculate just out of the showroom!

i have all the receipts and invoices for the above plus much more.....

im terrified to add up all the invoices but it will easily exceed the asking price and thats not including what i paid for the bike.

ive advertised it locally for a possibly optimistic £2350, my bottom line is £2000 firm. ill give it a little while on here and gumtree before i move it to ebay

any questions just ask

the bike was sold to forum member ttboy1988... hope hes having fun on it! its probably about time everything was torqued up again just to make sure nothing's come loose so ill probably let him know!

did anyone happen to pick up a copy of Classic motorcycle mechanics this month??

I saw it in there, my Thundercat is in too

did i found that on ebay ?

No, not with those cheap Chinese fairings and silver chassis! Seems a bit of an optimistic price? But then it's the right time of year to sell sell sell!!

now i can see it different year and more stickers and not the same

Well now we are on the subject.... I think ttboy1988 needs your assistance Jayster.
P.s I have the mag with the Thundercat articles too, cool

I honestly cannot tell you how much I wish I hadn't looked into that last comment... sad sad face.

I know how you feel mate putting your heart & soul into rebuilding & repainting a bike to see it damaged by someone else, I've said to him that there simply isn't anyone better than yourself to ask to repair it if you are in a position to help?
As a Painter I'd be so hard pushed to let anyone else lay a finger on mine or my wife's bike & that's why you are top choice, are you in a position to quote him? I just have no idea how an insurance company will value such a machine?

Jayster,
Yeah that's the one I bought and I agree, very flimsy fairings from China (the Yamaha Moto GP 50th Anniversary edition from 2011) which is why I have already started to make enquiries about replacements as its only a matter of time before I crack one (one already has a small crack).
I gave £1800 for the bike, 12 months T&T etc, both me and the seller happy with the price (i'm probably happier than him, he really wanted £2K).  Loving the bike and enjoying the chats on here.
I will definitely keep you in mind if I need to replace any plastics.
Also, sorry to hear that the bike you sold to TTBoy88 has been bent.  It looked really good in the pics

Just discovered this post. That's one of the best aftermarket paint jobs I have ever seen. Mr Yamaha would have been proud.

Can't believe it got put on the floor that quickly. Must have hurt both rider and builder. Hope it's back in fine shape soon.
