Peace talks broke out.... Bike retrieved (it still lives there) but decided to sell it anyway. Not being used enough .

Even less excuse to use it in the current climate, but we don't need to tell that to a prospective buyer.

Would love to but my days of riding macho Motos are far behind me .
Out of interest how much would insurance be on that for a "mature" rider?

Nice bike, my dad had one until he was 79.

My insurance costs about £100 per year. But low risk area, full no claims, and of course age all help 😄

 

[Smudge]

My insurance on that VFR would also be around £100 or less. I only pay £84 FC for my XSR900.

Full respect to your dad.

Thanks, not long before his eightieth birthday my dad, my brother, The Fragrant MrsP, my nephew, myself and a neighbour all had a track day at Ron Haslam’s at Silverstone race course. He wiped the floor with us all. Unfortunately he’s in lock down in a home, and he doesn’t know who I am.

Oh sorry. Dementia is a terrible thing. My wife's mother had it and spent her last three years with us. Very difficult thing to deal with, can't be easy for you.

You'll sell that as easy as anything @Brandane ,superb lookin bike, and it's a vfr

Great bikes, have you given up biking or need the £2k? If not, then I'd sit on it, it isn't going to lose much value or may rise? I have a 1992 MX5, I hardly use it but it's going up in value enough to cover my annual running costs.

To be honest, I've really just been "sitting on it", but not in the proper sense, for a year or two now. I ride it now and again just to make sure it still goes, but doubt if I'll ever do the rides to France like I used to do. Blame cycling for some of that! I grudge the VED, insurance, and maintenance costs (not a lot) for something that's just taking up room in the garage. If it doesn't sell at close to the asking price then I'll keep it. I'm just fishing, but if it goes then so be it.

They are an extravagance if you don’t really use them. I’m having my 1993 Fireblade MOT’d tomorrow and I’ve done less than 500 in the last 12 months still not ready to sell it though, I just like owning it
