[notgrumpy]

bought it for less than a weeks wages,and it did need some work before it even got to the stage you see below ...hours cleaning and degreasing(i honestly thought the wheels were black?) and a few wiring issues sorted.... and secondhand rear master cylinder from mito (fleabay) rear and front wheel bearings,head-race bearings and got rid of heated handlebar grips and hand blisters,clutch switch sorted and cured the running problems,super glue and aroldite are in most plastics,just the front mudguard undamaged,and a new xring chain,although the man said hes just put a brand new chain on?? yes he had...from a roller shutter door maybe but no bike shop would sell such a cheap non oring chain for a moped let alone this? oh ? and it came with a pc111 usb from tl1000s,i have receipt and cd, now don't laugh but looooook.....

They don't rot when they gets a little intelligent TLC, she'll be great and a weeks pay?? worth it in anyones money

[Fausto]

A week's pay ????

Depends how much you earn I suppose - not a footballer are you ?

[notgrumpy]

im no footballer,i may look like a football but earn an average wage,it was very cheap,so cheap i even had money left over to feed the kids.lmao

[Fausto]

A superb buy then. It's amazing how much you can save if you are prepared to put in some elbow grease yourself.

yes i agree? its got me confused to? not a single scratch???? both cases on the engine have been changed too so it has been down the road both sides (see exhaust)and the gen cover has been opened with an axe and large blunt object.....mmmm ? upright crashing... is there such a thing..maybe he got stuck between two cars in london?

Looks like you got yourself a bargain grin machine there. As long as she starts when you want, stops when you want, and goes where you want, the pretty stuff can wait, (unless you don't really HAVE to feed the kids) worth considering !!

Is the engine black or are the pics deceiving?? Can't say i've seen a rap with a black engine

Enjoy & drive safe

Sorry. I meant that as it's a Suzuki engine it is guaranteed to rot within days of seeing a cloud pass before the sun.
Suzuki make some superb engines but they aim to be cheap and it shows cosmetically.
