THE BUILD

Reluctantly for sale as I’m thinning out my collection due to serious lack of use of pretty much all of my bikes on account or running my own business, young child, demanding girlfriend, not enough hours in the day.

Owned this bike for 4 years and have done MOT mileage pretty much each year and it’s a crying shame.

Have all MOT’s dating back to 2014 and astonishingly, the bike has only covered 2500 miles since 2011.

Serviced, maintained and cosmetic upgrades 2 years ago including oil, filter, brake fluid, new battery and a full inspection and visual health check. I also had a brand new Goffi taller screen fitted, including GPS/phone bar, LED headlight, Denali running lights, brand new crash bars (still unmarked), Goffi new rear tailpiece with LED tail/stop light and brand new Continental TKC 80 tyres. Optimate trickle charging lead fitted and included. Exhaust was blowing a bit, turned out to be a failed gasket so exhaust removed and gasket replaced, along with some other ancillaries, bike has wanted for nothing in my ownership, except some mileage.

I can also provide photos of the bike as I bought it showing the original parts, nothing has been chucked out. Nice stainless exhaust, complete with removable baffle.

Replacement Excel rim up front and rear is original, rot free and in great order.

All original parts come with the bike, along with a spare genuine purple seat, owners manual, advertising literature etc. Leather Dakar style case on rear rack NOT included.

Bike rides without fault and can be ridden away, it is supremely comfortable, the LED headlight is a massive upgrade, literally night & day difference, and the bike has 80’s Honda build quality and will take you anywhere. Bike is in good condition but expect signs of wear and use commensurate with age, this is not a restored show bike, it is a very honest, desirable and thoroughly lovely old thing that will be Historic in 3 years, meaning no MOT, Tax, ULEZ or Congestion Charge.

I can send a 2.5 minute long start up/walk around video by WhatsApp/email as too long to add here.

Viewings by arrangement as bike is kept in my rented garage 2 mins from my house, and has been the entire time I’ve owned it.

No test rides without full asking price in my hand for obvious reasons, but happy to let any prospective buyer have a thorough look over.

Fire over any questions, happy to discuss anything or send over additional photos if required.

Thanks for looking.
