R1 price

[jasesapphy]

Looking at R1s

Ideally wanted Lava or Grey/Black

Been offered Blue R1 54 Plate 15K, Full Yam History

No added crap apart from to Akra's (which is a mod I would do)

£3300

Good price or not

Not sure whether to hold out for few months and try and get a colour I really want

What the chuff is an R1?

[jasesapphy]

Meant to be in bike banter
Can someone move it

An R1 is a Japanese Kei car made by Subaru http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_R1

Now if you had said "Fireblade" even the car drivers would know what it is and even describe the tailpipe(s).

I too got excited by its ford ka good looks

[Mr OCD]

It's a good price but £3500 will get you any colour you want on that plate tbh so just wait for the right colour to come up.

[Yazza54]

Certainly sounds good to me

Make a offer to OCD his is a good runner

Joking aside his bike is real nice.

Price is about right if all checks out.

On a side note People are on drugs the amount they are asking on ebay for 5vy R1's

[jasesapphy]

Thanks all

OCD I think your right and it coming to the best time to buy

I just want something that hasn't been mullered and got loads of extra tat

Low milage and a FSH is a nice to have

[Fleegle]

One thing to watch for is brightly coloured brake fluid. It sends the bike into meltdown

[thatdude]

If the service history is good, and the current condition of the bike is good (tyres, pads / calipers, chain and sprockets, forks and rear shock, engine...no leaks etc, bearings) then go for it - I think that's a steal


[edit] red key...make sure it's with the bike

It's spot on now ... freshly serviced too. The right offer and I will let it go.
