I'm feeling like a change, a TDM is calling out to me.
900, don't know if the 850 would pull myself around after lockdown.
Been checking a few out and then a fresh one pops up in Megabikes a bit over priced for my taste.

I know where there's one CJ.
I don't know anything about the bike or who the owner is.
It was left in somewhere to sell but I think it's a private sale.
I think the price was under 3 anyway.
I could probably get a number for the seller if you want to find out more.

Watch out for the stator and the cold start mechanism. They are both known issues. Otherwise in my 6 years of ownership it never let me down and always put a smile on my face.

Well, how about this. On Monday a nice bike I took a serious interest in was up on a bike shop page on the deal for 2300 euro. On Tuesday it disappeared as I was about to board the train to Dublin with intend on buying it cash in my pocket.
Today Wednesday it's back, this time with a different bike shop page for sale for shy of 3k. They haven't ever fixed up the vrt and fitted Irish plate. Yee, I am a bit miffed as I think that just...mean.

Also how do you know they haven't done maintenance on it

The tank on this reminds me of an armadillo or something.

A project for someone maybe.
Turn it into a cafe racer.

Jesus that's absymal. The lines all of them are terrible even the swing arm.

H_Lime · 05-09-2020 7:24pm

Yeah they're fair mank but that's decent mill and the chassis should be grand. As blade says a custom or cafe job. For once I would approve with the butchery:pac:

They have pulled it off somewhat with this one.
At least you could be fairly sure you won't bump into the same bike wherever you go :pac:

A lovely VFR 750 1988 popped up yesterday at a steal and it was gone in a matter of hours.
I'm raging I missed it but also glad I don't have another project on my hands!!!

You do need to have your ducks in a row - money, time, lift - you snooze, you lose.

Very good value for year, mileage, spec etc if someone is interested into getting the very enjoyable world of Triples!

Have loved Street Triples since I first laid eyes on them, looks like a lovely example.

I will forgive all if I get a documented (in any manner) service history.

should call him up and ask would he sell the chain and sprocket seperatly

Acquiescence · 29-09-2020 12:57pm

I've always found not showing my phone number and only allowing DoneDeal messages is enough of an inconvenience to dissuade people who have no intention of making reasonable offers or buying in general.

That and pricing things like an adult.

It probably reduces the pool of potential buyers but you only need one.

It would be a big help if he wiped the butter off the camera lens before taking the pics.
At least then you could properly inspect the pics.

I have all the receipts from my works undertaken but no service history per se. Better than nothing I suppose. Us Irish are pretty poor at s/h or receipts
My caponord I bought off a copper in portlaoise was the exception, tons of paper work!

I'm usually more concerned with the owner than paperwork.
Although it is a bonus and I do keep as much as I think of.

True.
Back when I was hunting down a clean blade I saw one in Tipp with a literal break in the bracing on the swinger. Yer man had swore blind the bike was mint. He was angry when I saw that and just turned and started walking. Told me I was a timewaster and sure was I going to ride hard enough to need that bracing! Ahhhhhh gas stuff. No timewaster, just givis de bleedin money like!

Yip,on the flip side,if someone is selling something good that they've put time/money/effort into, you usually can't stop them talking :pac:

Even I had to do a double take on that one. Still, if that's all there is to do on it, looks like a nice bike.

stratowide · 01-10-2020 12:10pm

Just looking at bikes on donedeal there.Asking prices seem way OTT.
Some private sellers looking for more than dealers with similar spec.

Maybe it's just me I dunno..?

Sold my last bike 6 years ago.
Same year/make/model are now looking for more than I sold it for back in 2014.Got a fair price for it too.

Might head up north to buy again.

You can't really go by 6 years ago and now.
Several reasons for this.
Bikes were at their lowest in a long time back then.
You could buy fireblades, blackbirds etc for 1500-1600 euro.
You'll pay nearly double for the same bikes now.
Also the prices of new bikes in the last few years has risen so I suppose this has an effect on secondhand ones as well.
Prices at the moment seem to be fluctuating on a lot of stuff so prices are allover the place.
You can still get a bargain but you need to be quick off the mark usually.

Yeah I'm in no real rush so I'll have the cash ready to buy if a good deal comes up.
Just out of the game for a while now and sussing it out again.

Thanks for that chief.

There was 4 or 5 bikes over the summer that caught my eye and were cheap.
I said I'd sleep on it about each one of them and they were all sold the next day.

Anything in mind that you'd like to get?

I did that for long enough and eventually just bit the bullet and paid what I considered to be a bit over the odds.

Selling that bike now so i've just gone with the average market price of what they're going for. In reality I know it's probably about 1k too much on it. Not overly fussed if it sells or stays as it's a perfect machine.

Bikes on donedeal, ebay, adverts etc..
