There are superficial surface scratches on some of the plastics and tank which I have been told would buff out with the right polish. There are also some paintchips on the tail piece and grab handles but other than that it's in pretty tidy condition. All the panels fit properly although there is one missing panel pin, it has just had new front brake pads and rear wheel bearings fitted by myself.

It has a non-standard stainless two-into-one exhaust (by Gazelle Exhausts) with some minor scratches that appeared after I lent the bike to a friend of mine but again, they should polish out reasonably well. Exhaust sound is 'fruity' but not offensive.

I have some service history, receipts etc.

Other extras include a Touring Scottoiler which would be included in the sale, and a spare, higher screen

I also have a Givi three box kit fitted to the bike. The boxes and top plate are NOT included in the sale unless the buyer wants them.

£2,100 without the boxes
£2,300 with them

Would consider straight swap for equivalent valued ZX9-R, Fireblade, Thunderace

Bike is located in Letchworth, Herts

It's most prolly like mine, a old stock bike reg'd later. Mines a 1998 but reg'd in 2000, I think Viper-bikers TDM is simlier

Mine's same as yours Nitty, and it's a W reg.

oooh jinx, mines a 'W' as well Best colour black and silver

Oh blimey we have hijacked this thread, sorry, can a moderator split us off please?

[unclesumo]

Mines an 02 reg but a pre 98 bike. But I'm not bitter!

[DodgetheRog]

I don't mind the hi-jacking of the thread as long as someone buys the bloody bike!

Seriously, how do I tell the actual model? VIN? Cosmetic/chassis differences? All help gratefully received.

usually colour scheme Rog, take off the seat and you should see a small white sticker with 4TX **** written on it, check same and report back here at 0900 hours (i've always wanted to say that !!! what was stopping me ???)
if ya have a Haynes manual twill tell ya what year this info on the sticker relates to yer bike, or i'll check it our fer ya.

[DodgetheRog]

Sorry I'm late reporting back (hope I'm not going to get KP duty or something )

The sticker says 4TX2-070

So what's that mean then?

now then pull yer shoulders back and yer tummy in Smithers

4TX2 = 1997 according to Haynes manual, so the yella and silver one must have been available fer 2 years, (96 & 97) anyone else got a yella & silver wan to compare ???

It looks like the same colour scheme as AE's old un. But I thought that was a 98er.

Didn't help much did I?

doesn't really matter that much either way as the bikes (AE's and Rog's) were prolly still new in the showroom in 98/99.

Thanks for the info. Now we've all sorted that out, does anyone want to buy the bloody thing?

you see, advertising a bike in the bikes owners forum brings its own unigue problem.
whilst we are probably the people most likely to appreciate it, we all.....well um......er, pretty much everyone here already has one.

True, true. However, I would have hoped that someone looking for this particular model might have found their way to the site and then on to the For Sale section. Oh well.

that would have been nice, and very helpful for the new owner too

wish you luck with selling it

Yup, a '97 bike with a '99 reg, not thaat I'm bothered though.

Rog, fancy selling the boxes and rack seperately? Don't worry about postage, I can sort that out myself, can get it couriered to my door for next to nothing (benefits of having a brother that works for a courier firm )

Right now, I'd miss the boxes as I'm still using the bike once a week or so and use, at the very least, the back box each time. I'll bear in mind you've put in a bid for them, so to speak, and let you know if they come available anytime soon. Fair enough?
