1997 VFR 750, touch under 20,000 miles, £2,000. Ok, it's not the most exciting bike in the world, but it's the next rung up the ladder for me.

Tidy. 12 months MOT, brand new BT010s, full tank of petrol, Micron can (and original), pillion cowl and tank bag. Same as this one:



Just waiting for the paperwork to come through once the MOT's been sorted so I can get it insured and taxed. Should be out to play on it in a week or so, days off permitting.

Now I just need a way to work out how to explain to Mrs Dibble that my bike's always been a blue Honda VFR, I never actually owned a red Yamaha Diversion, she must have been mixed up...

I'm pretty sure they were 010s - the bikes been off the road for a while (but kept MOT'd), and the tyres were 010s I think - but new.

Might need to invest in some new ones anyway if they've been standing a while, but looked ok on a visual inspection.
