On Gumtree and the dreaded ebay at the moment. hopefully going to see one in Worcestershire tomorrow . When I get sorted and on the road it'd be great to meet up with some like minded people :-)

Hi Den
If you look on gumtree there was a baggy in Leicester, terrible paint and no standard clocks but it was cheap and there is also what I think was a black panther in Atherstone on ebay, went to see that one, it was vey clean and very low miles but it had a yoshimura exhaust on that was just too loud, if such a thing was possible.

Exhaust too loud! is that the only reason you did not buy it? never heard of DB killers? you probably missed out on a great fun to ride bike :?

Hi Al
It was so loud that you couldnt talk to someone standing next to you when it was ticking over, plus it needed a seat cover, it was a US import and have a few bodywork issues as well, got a baggy in the end though, mine has a vampire can which makes plenty of noise but is quiet enough for trickling around town when you need to be quiet. The garage told me it was a full yoshimura system so if it wasn't road legal then a full exhaust change would be needed. It's still on ebay.
