Unfortunately due to a very dodgy spine and the need for something more comfortable/relaxed I am having to part with frankenraptor.

Full Mot, goes well but very very tatty . R1 forks. Hagon rear shock ,homemade rack, fly screen, sbk exhaust 29000 miles. Original forks, brakes, exhaust included. You can even have a twin headlight fairing that I had on it a few years ago. Ally homemade panniers(probably worth about a grand on their own lol) Power commander 2.

But as I said very very tatty.

£1000 no offers or possible swap for something adventure tourer type thing cash either way.

Pics to follow

Hey Glynn, sorry to see you moving on but stick around whatever!

So what you thinking of going for?

At that price bracket stick it on some of your local facebook bike sale sites, they seem to do well......

Sorry it has to go, please stay around!

What are you getting instead? And will the aluminium panniers fit?

Xx

I’m thinking maybe navigator Caponord or Stelvio but I haven’t tried any of them so I’ve no idea how they will suit. Might have to give up on bikes totally. The mad thing is this last 3 years I’ve been more on the bike than when I was a yoof.

And I wouldn’t mind hanging around if you allow me.

And I think the ally panniers can go with the bike. Also the power commander.

Sorry to hear of your problems. If you do go for a more-upright bike in the style of those you mention, do include the Cagiva Gran Canyon in the to-try list. Unless, of course, you have an aversion to Ducati power-plants! In my opinion, one of the best-styled Ducatis ever courtesy of the Cagiva input, and a joy to ride. If you are anywhere near me, a test-ride is available, but don't ask to buy mine as a refusal will likely offend! :naughty:

Thanks nickst I cannot be too opposed to Ducati powered stuff as I have an elefant 750 project that I must get round to doing maybe now is the time. I have an issue with most modern adventure style bikes that I don’t like the styling. If only they made an elefant with the suzi 1000 motor in it.

Well it’s gone I’ve recommended you rabble to the new owner :shock:
Need to get the old elefant running now. Anyone else on here got an elefant?
