So I saw this a few day before I went on holiday . It was on the Danish border ironic eh?
Messaged him , paid him by transfer, got Chas Mortimer to collect it , and deliver when I got back from holiday.
The delay is really just in the legal stuff. 2&1/2 months, while paperwork arrives from 1 place so you can send it elsewhere.
Anyway here it is a 650 with the Kat fairing fitted properly ...not too high or low ...correct clocks ...
To anticipate the question about 1984 should be a GZ , so fuel gauge , anti dive etc ... It was old stock . :ugeek:
Bit too clean with lairy paint on bits ....the last owner was a tad "ooooh my precious " :P
Basically the perfect touring Kat :) :D :mrgreen:

Handlebars are perfect for the fairing etc . Just shiney chrome!. :roll: ..the front indicators are the ones I fit to everything .....they were already on so saves me doing that. Rear ones however are from a gsxr range and need sorting.
It came with all proper indicators and spare panels in a box.

Hang on Nikki close .....the one you were thinking about was in Newcastle.....this one was Denmark..ish, 'snot close at all :D

Only good for dispatching.....eh. Let's see 200 mile tank, neutral riding position, shaft drive, long comfy seat. Having just done Denmark and back on an S2 two up ....this would have been a tad more suitable! :lol:
