TL1000S for sale?

[snooker]

I'm considering selling the TL

I had a test run on a GSXR1000K7 last Saturday and was mightly impressed, but still haven't made my mind up.

GS in Hillsborough offered me buttons for the TL as a trade-in, as she stands, but valued her at £2,200 for a private sale and honestly, I wouldn't let her go for any less. So is anyone interested or know of anyone looking for a clean reliable bike?

Here's the full SP:

Cosmetically good/very good and gets admired on a regular basis. There is some staining on the frame. The belly pan and engine have had their fair share of stone chips. Very reliable and runs very well.

To anyone looking at the advert all I'll say is you'll not find a finer example of a TL. Quite seriously I would put my money where my mouth is if I hadn't found out last week it's unlikely I'll be back on two wheels again before next year

If you decide to sell I hope you get what she's worth mate. Whether I'd buy a gixer - well that's another story...... ;D

Well Jack should have plenty of spares

Knew one or both of the previous owners to have well dodgy!! If my knee wasn't so old I'd be tempted. Hope she finds a good home.

PS Hello!

[pierre]

" to have BEEN well dodgy" Doh!

[El Loco]

Well hello there stranger - good to see you back ;D

Know what you mean about the old joints, feeling it myself at the moment. We'll all be buying cruisers next!

M.

PS. I've PM'd you as well.

[pierre]

And anyway, if I bought it back I'd have yer man round every week to make sure I'd kept it as clean as the proverbial. What's a cruiser? Is it still for sale or has someone put Snooker out of his angst?

Plus I'd be a bit worried about the "staining on the frame". Wasn't me! He must be getting a bit decrepit, poor old Snooker!
