Rough and you should have seen the bloke Easy bought it off, wifey was saying he was scratching his nuts in his tracky bums whilst we were looking at the bike nice



Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams.

That looks quite tidy. Far too new and modern too.



£500, mileage circa 163,000 miles. And able to turn the rider utterly fucking invisible to every other cunt on two wheels

Hurrah! Shonkers FTW

Here's my 1991 Honda NTV600 Revere. 69k miles, and still as Mr Honda intended - well, more or less:





Photos from the eBay listing I bought it from.

Taxed and Tested till next summer (July). Price? A princely £400

It needs a screen (a bit like that one on yours, Foxy... where d'ya park it? ), it needs carbs balanced and plugs changed, and a bit of electrical housekeeping, but it runs okay, really.

Token bauble:

Bah humbug.

the photos are very flattering.

i dribbled some petrol on the tank on the forecourt the other day, wiped it off with some of the paper towel on offer...and it took the paint off...nice...hand painted and no lacquer.

Makes it easier to repaint it all for better colour matching, see?

Mine has at least 4 separate shades of blue happening. Plus another shade of blue hammerite on the side stand, for some reason

That's a genuine BMW screen and is no longer available new, anywhere. It's not currently on the bike as I took it off for summer, but it's going to have to go back on once the weather improves. And once I've dropped the gearbox. It's pretty good though, apart from being an inch or two too short for me with a bit of turbulence at about eye level. Still needs Ural leg shields though

Has to be said, there's a distinct and slightly disappointing lack of Rickman and Powerbronze in this thread so far...
