I quite like that, but...

If it is an S1, how is an X1 speedo going to work? Unless it is an X1/M2 set of cases or the guy has put a hole in to count the teeth on 5 gear...

I think whoever buys it will be buying a handful of trouble...

But at a guess, I think high 3s...

A fair bit of bike for the current price and there are some decent mods on it but as Pash says you might find yourself spending a bit of wedge on it to get it where you want it to be ... ?

As well as the X1 clocks it also has an X1 flyscreen. The twintail as lost its sub-frame extension.

It does have the newer shock, the wishbone front exhaust hanger, the 2001 gear lever conversion, traction grips and a frame brace welded in...

Not sure where the regulator has gone... Perhaps in the same position as M2/X1.

Would be interesting to see if the engine and frame numbers match.

Mind you, anyone could have similar comments about any of my S1s...

Check his feedback and the ad saying he is just seeing what the interest is "JUST TESTING THE WATER REALLY SEE WHAT FEEDBACK A GET". Has several negative feedbacks where he has sold cars and then wanted more money for it after the auction has ended.
"SELLER, WANTS MORE MONEY FOR CAR AFTER THE AUCTION PAINT WORK WAS POOR BAD MAN"

"DISHONEST SELLER, WANTS MORE MONEY FOR THE CAR AFTER THE AUCTION. Reported"

Would be a real pisser if you went to pick it up and they pulled that stunt. Also he didn't do any of the work as he has only had it a year.

Worth a punt if it was cheap but its at the most I would pay for it right now and it will go higher. £3750 I think.

I'm a ridiculous snob, and would be wary of a seller that spends so much time altering font sizes and colours, but can't be bothered to string a literate sentence together and even make an effort "wiv" spelling..etc.

yeah, yeah, I know - but it's just how I am... :roll:
