Still not sure about carrying 7-8 grand in cash though.. And Richard T, do you not sign the log book and then send it away? You did'nt buy it without a logbook?

Signed it when I bought it. The seller is supposed to post it and I was in work and couldnt get away. Take a pic of the log book etc. Bring a friend If you are taking a large sum of cash. Try and meet at the sellers home. There are lots of precautions to take. If I was buying a second hand bike for 8k upwards I would insist on a good test ride and not just around the block.

No one is going to let you test ride their bike without cash way too risky.

Very few private individuals will take bank transfers, cheques or bank drafts again a risk to the seller.

Not many people will meet at their house they'll go to a petrol station or car park as bikes are incredibly easy to steal.

Seller sends the log book not you the buyer.

If you're uncomfortable with it I'd advise going through a dealer because ultimately its the sellers asset to sell and decide how things will go.

Would have been but my seller didn't have it, and had never heard of it either.

I'd never buy a bike from someone that doesn't even know how to spell the name properly.

Another VFR for small money.
Very little info on ad.
Can that milage be right I wonder.
Comes with twin Leo's so should sound great.

I'm a grammar nazi, but spelling has zero correlation with taking care of a bike. Silly way to filter potential bikes.

Guy who lives near me once got a custom embroidered saddle made up for his bike
it said "DOEVILLE" :pac:

ABS light is on on that bike...

If the Deauville is anything like the Pan European then the ABS light will go out when you ride a short distance. The wheels need to turn for the ABS self test to happen so I would not worry about what is in the picture.

lennymc · 10-07-2020 10:19AM

ABS stays on on a lot of bikes until it moves - it's whatever way the sensors are set up from the factory.

Hotblack Desiato · 10-07-2020 01:06PM

Didn't know that, have never owned a bike with ABS...

On the wife's car the light just goes out after a couple of seconds even if you haven't moved off.

Believe it or not, long long ago I had cruise control on an 1983 American CX650.

SV1k is my first bike with a digital speedo, and km/h to boot! (although you can press buttons to change it to MPH or back again if you really want...)

The Sprint ST came with a Throttlemeister - turn the bar end weight and it jammed the throttle open at whatever position you want. I never used it.

Ad is gone. He must read the thread

Jimmy Bottlehead · 12-07-2020 10:41AM

I'll be a tad cheeky and stick my own ad up here:

http://www.adverts.ie/20842112

I've had the Four for five years now, she's never given me issues beyond servicing and getting the reg/rec replaced which is a common Honda issue.

Would love to see another beginner take her on and learn on her as she was perfect for me to learn on.
Price is flexible, just has the usual Adverts / Donedeal increase to stop getting daft offers and swaps for all sorts
