Whaddya think?

Happy to post this up here as I wouldn't be devastated if someone else snags it. Saw this last night:

Seems like something of a bargain? And looks really clean? I know these crop up in conversation here from time to time. Starting to think this might be a decent commuter replacement which could handle other duties too?

Yamaha FJR1300, a Kawasaki GTR1400 or even a 1300 Pan.

Interesting, the FJR was just on the verges of my radar. Not so keen on the other two, don't know why!

Thanks for the tip on the K-series tho.

Unless you are handy with spanners thats a lot of money for a bike close to the end of its economic life.

That's interesting, I thought that was still reasonable money! I remember a while back your Pa was selling his? Any idea what age it was and what he got for it?

Maybe I'll keep looking, I'm in no big hurry, that one just jumped out at me as interesting for the money but I definitely don't want a lemon; as much as I have several large bags of spanners (and mostly know how to use them!) I have better things to do with my time than keep fighting a troublesome bike.

Well, I think the last three posts finalise my decision!

I used to commute on an old RT, which wasn't too much of a drama, so perhaps that's the way to go. Thanks for all the input, guys.
