So this one is there or thereabouts, most FJR1300's seem to be higher miles, and for a low mileage 03, I would expect to pay North of £4000

 

This one is the same age and spec although it does have luggage

Looks good but remember the ins co & DVLA may want an engineers report regarding repairs & road worthiness, you may then have to re MOT too. £2800 would be much nearer & £3000 tops, point this out to the seller. 

HTH.

[fatchap]

It's this one

Just trying to knock the price down a little

 

Opinions?

I think that it is about £1000 too expensive. You could find one in poor condition. spend the same money on it and have a bike that was not Cat C But that's just my opinion. Do what your heart decides.

You could maybe try and get him down based on their being no panniers? Theres a good few hundred there to replace them. Mind you apart from the occassional one the dealer prices look very high on even early high mileage bikes.

 

Alternativvely put some extra pennies to this

If I had the readies I might be interested....

[Matt101]

That one has been discussed on the FJR forum. One guy is a met policeman. He bought an ex-police bike and vowed never again. Loads of holes everywhere to fill and the maintenance isn't as good as you would think.

Nice, but away out of my price range

 

I have been looking for a FJR for 6 months or more, and watching prices for even longer

 

Pricing often makes no sense on the FJR1300, with people paying way over the odds on some bikes, and others going stupidly cheap, with dealers living in cloud cuckoo land but they do seem to have panniers attached

 

The last set  genuine panniers went on ebay for £180 

[nav18tor]

OK, so my TDM is going to have to go back on the market

 

Whatever happens, will be sticking around here though

 

Right, who wants a nice 07 TDM900 

[nav18tor]

Some may have noticed that I have some bits for sale and figured out the result

 

Yup, the TDM900 is going, and being replaced by a FJR1300

 

I brought the cat c one, is being MOT'd and delivered

 

Will of course post images and I will stick around here

[Matt101]

Yeah! Don't let the boogers scare you off!

[nav18tor]

Yeah! Don't let the boogers scare you off!

 

It's too late, the TDM900 has gone off in a van, and a Galaxy Blue FJR1300 now fills the space in the garage

 

It is in amazing condition, slight grazing excepted, this bike had been seriuosly well looked after by previous owner(s) and the mileage checks out on the MOT

 

Just need to score some panniers now

 

One stupid thing though, the controler for the Oxford heated grips is under the saddle!!

 

Go figure that one

 

It's in as good if not better condition than my TDM900 was and that was very good

 

So far, am very pleased

You should know the rules by now. We need pics. If no pics...it doesn't exist or it didn't happen. Dispensation granted to bring it to the fettle day and we can check it out.

Enjoy.

This afternoon in my garage, we have...

 

First one is the damaged side

 

 

 

[Matt101]

Looks nice. Posh though having a door either end of the garage!

One of my better idea's when we had it built, being able to drive around the garden makes it simple to load garden rubbish ETC 

 

Had a steel RSJ across the middle as well, cant think that I will ever use it to lift anything, but at least I know I can

 

Could not afford a pitched roof, so it's not that flash with a flat one!

[nav18tor]

It was a toss up between pitched roof, or extra door, and the door won

 

Was a bloody good decision, its handy to be able to ride through, turn around and park bike

[Matt101]

And a roller shutter to boot. Way too flash!
