Hi folks,
With a great deal of sadness I am looking to see if there is any interest in my NTV650. I was having the bike worked on at a local garage and was advised the work needed to be carried would not be economical mostly due to labour charges. I am not mechanically minded thus need to rely on the local garage who are a small family run business and have always been very open and honest with me in the past.
The bike is the NTC650 (L reg)
It is currently a non runner as work was being carried out when the decision was made not to continue.
* The front fork seals will need replacing (this job was started)
* Front and rear brake pads need replacing and brakes cylinders need cleaning
* both front and rear disc's (although just about ok) need replacing and I have second user discs purchased via this forum (see my timeline)
* rear lens unit was damaged but glued back together and made legal; however, I purchased a good replacement (via this forum again)
* Front exhaust downpipe needs replacing. I purchased new Motad stainless steel downpipes (both) with gaskets.
* Fairly new (Motobatt) battery
* Front and rear tyres replaced recently
* There is a fairly new Rennitec rack fitted
* Top Box with base plate
The bike performed beautifully, good handling, no loss of power going uphill in high gear, good acceleration (for the NVT650). There would be a little amount of blue smoke most notable when starting up, but used next to no oil at all.
Pictures taken and available to forward on via 'We Transfer.com', please forward me your email address either via this site or c.s.brown@worc.ac.uk.
Please be aware this bike is NOT in mint condition and would benefit from a restoration project, but it was a fantastic and reliable commuter bike for the past 15 months.
Mileage - 67,680.4
My location - Malvern, Worcestershire.
Any enquiries please let me know and when I have photographs I will be happy to send via 'We Transfer.com'.
I have not stated price as no pictures available just yet; however, I will be looking for any reasonable offers please?
Kind regards
Chris
