I've owned it for about ten years, and its the best bike I have ever owned. Now with 45,000 miles. So I cleaned it up for sale, MOTd it, and now can't bare to part with it  :-\
I paid £1100 for this bike, with around 13,000 miles, rode it all over the UK and Ireland, and was going to advertise it for £1450. Its a J model, as in the first year, 1988, the only one with a kickstart.
It probably needs loads of duct tape, as I don't actually know whats holding the fairing panels together, as all the fasteners are fkd.

Aye timbo,

It's only just run in, with that few hours on the clock!

Just reduce the fleet and run it about a bit more.

Like the 600 'window shaker', but I have too many already and crocked mysel' in the workshop. Tweaked the tendon running over my instep, so hopping and unable to change gear; real shame as a run over the Dukes Pass for a Stornaway black pudding and steak pie was on the cards afore the snow returns next week!  ???

Toodle pip, Bill

Aye Bill. I'm really trying to reduce the fleet, but struggling to part with stuff  :-\
Ahh, the Dukes Pass, and I owe you a Stornaway Black Pudding. Still think about when you passed me on Sally last year on that bike run, and I thought, 'what's he up to?' Then I soon realised that you knew the road, and were simply warning me about the next very badly surfaced bend  ;)

Aye timbo,

The 'bomb hole' has been filled and the surface re-laid, so if you are across again, it's not so bad. The mild winter means that many of the roads are not in too bad a shape, but buget cuts and Stirlingshire's neglect policy to slow the traffic down still prevails in that County.  :(  They also have one of the highest mileages of minor and unclassified roads in Scotland, which doesn't help their cause either.  ???

Safe riding.

My regards, Bill

Not true 89 k model also had a kick-start. I always thought it would be good to put that lump into.and xbr and saw one once with a later engine. I've seen a RS with an XBR engine as well. Now if i had the.money, time and health I'd probably still not try that. Well enough money maybe you could pay someone else to do most of it.
