Bought new bike and sold old cat

I went to my local bike shop about a month ago to buy a pinlock for my helmet, saw a Kawasaki Versys, took it for a test ride and within 2 minutes of riding felt that I had to buy it.

Went in to shop for a £26 pinlock and came out with a £3200 motorbike , Went home and wife saw receipt for deposit , when asked why I responded

I added versys to my insurance and after I picked up new bike I was a multibike owner but was struggling for space in my garage for 2 bikes , so one had to go.

I put Cat in Gumtree and after being offered 2 cars and a kids trial bike swaps, I got a call from someone wanting to view.

As cat had hardly been used I decided to take out for a quick blast and almost changed my mind about selling it, I tell you the Versys is such a great bike to ride due to the high riding position, but the cat is still a quality bike and the engine seems to purr compared to the versys thump thump sound :albino:

Anyways guy came to view, took for a spin , came back in 2 minutes and bought it

So its goodbye cat I wont forget you , but I wont be leaving this site and will pop in now and again to view.

ps I was looking at cats for sale on classified section here and saw the cadburys boost cat that sold in Nov last year, what a stunner and only £1600, jesus that was too cheap, as I got £1200 for my one, with aftermarket fairings on and his were original.

Glad to hear your still here even although your cat isn't ..... Trust you pointed the new owner in this general direction.

Cheers
Rosco.

I also jumped ship and bought a Versys , best of luck with your new purchase.
