Do we have one of these already? If not why not? £1500 Target but less is better.

Let's get started:

There's not been one on this part of the forum yet

I nominate this GSX650F I've just picked up to fettle over the winter, cost just over a grand, 15k miles, on an '08 plate, £200 on powder coating and service bits should give a decent return come sale time.

You've done well for yourself there, that looks way too nice for 1k and change, I'm tempted to get a bargain second bike myself, as I love my own zx6r but it's ruddy useless if you want some comfortable miles.

£1300 or best offer...OK, the graphics need removing (space invaders?!) but from reading the ad, its been a well looked after bike.

This one didn't sell for 1300, i'd be tempted to try throwing a grand at him if I lived a little closer.

12 months MOT, and new Tyres, might be worth a punt. Stupid looking screen though.

Where do people look for bargain bikes other than ebay, gumtree, and autotrader?

I can't see much good between them tonight

I think i saw that Pan Euro riding over North Anderson Drive last week, looked pretty good from a quick glance whilst riding with a salty visor in the opposite direction XD

On another note, 2004 VFR800 for £1200, has been sitting for a while so will need news tyres, and from the sounds of the advert the battery is shagged. Other than that it looks pretty good

She's done big miles, but the newest bike in the thread so far.
