picked up this little bargain to go with the zx12. great bikes with a belting engine. few polished bits and dyno jetted etc. this is my 4th and theyre a real laugh to ride and make a great sound and very quick for they are in todays traffic etc. has a nice sounding harris can on it,although im unsure of the look or the end of it on this bike. ive removed the shopping rack thing off the back. should help keep the miles down on the zx12 and give me something to ride on the not so nice days. https://postimg.cc/8jfszV98" rel="nofollow">  https://postimg.cc/CRj1bswm" rel="nofollow">  https://postimg.cc/5Hg2R9Yz" rel="nofollow">  https://postimg.cc/k65g3rKp" rel="nofollow">  https://postimg.cc/WFfbs97b" rel="nofollow">  ------------- |

| Proper bullet proof bikes, does what it says on the tin, I bought my zx9r to use in crappy weather and save my rsv, didn’t last long until I modded the hell out of it but man maths 😏 |

Looks immaculate, good buy So Big Un, is that before or after you set to work with your cleaning OCD?

Lol that pic is the sellers taken at his house.
Ill never show my weeds to you lot lmao. Ive not set about ocd cleaning it yet. Ive got this week off as it was my birthday last sunday And typicaly ive trapped a nerve or pulled a muscle In my already fekd spine🥴😫😖 So that buisness will have to wait. 30k on clock with fsh and recent full service Got him down to 1900 delivered. Lots of spare parts,aftermarket levers, standard exhaust A fly screen venhill front lines fitted and new venhill rears unfitted yet etc. Really likes to wheelie with very little provacation.😆😁 Im on the hunt for a nice yoshi exhaust now. Shes not bad for a 1999,nearly 22yrs old.

Beast, my first big bike was a 1997 600 bandit. Loved that bike until a blind woman destroyed it. Sure you're going to love cleaning it with the ocd and a wise move keeping the garden out of Dave surfers view unless you are just as anal about the weeds ------------- I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left |

Pretty sure my old 1200 was dynojetted and showed 130 on the dyno not bad from an old dinosaur motor best I saw was 155 on the clock being chased by a fireblade -------------  |

Bloody hell mark,155 takes some holding
Onto on a muscle bike with no wind protection pal. Theyre great fun to ride,all 3 rides ive had this week,ive chosen the bandit. Ease of use and so easy to make fast fun progress on. Its quickly become the favourite. Sounds brilliant too,that engine sure is a character. ------------- |

I did a load of work on one earlier this year for a mate to get it back on the road after his trip to the bottom of a beer barrel Was about to take it for an MOT and he sold it to a mate for £600!!! Was bloody gutted ------------- |
