It's a lousy time to seel abike and get a decent price for it at the moment.
Our ZX7R P1 is all ready to go, taxed and Mot'd but it's just not worth advertising it until th weather improves IMO.
The tax was due to run out this month and I haven't bothered to insure it yet as there's not a lot of point when its sitting in the back yard. However, just for a laff I thought I would see what happens when you try to tax a bike online, that's not insured. Bugger me it went through OK. Didn't think that was possible. I guess that a previous owner has not cancelled the insurance on it
Thank you very much, whoever you are; saved me a bit of hassle and expense..
New disc turned up in the post this morning

I think it all depends on what it is Burchy , of late ive seen a big demand for older bikes and my local classic bike shop has said the old triumph bonnies has shot up in value Old 2 strokes from the 80's era are fetching good money and if you want a decent fully restored KH 750 it will cost you £10000 + likewise a kettle ......... wish i kept me air cooled RD cos i would of got £4000 for that now and i seem to recall paying £300 for it

Well Sparky, given the complexity of a single cylinder 2 stroke, compared to a current four cylinder bike, I'll expect to see it back together and MOT'd in what, a day or two. Looking forward to the rise of the little smoker
