No not that one.
I've been looking at TTR's for ages on ebay and elsewhere. Not many about really. There was that Raid on ebay which i fancied but it's been on there for ages at £3250, but it's recently gone. I would imagine they've just not relisted it due to the plague more than anything.
Decided to look at XR250R's as an alternate, spotted one so i 'bought' it via 'buy it now'. Trouble is the chap has still not responded after a week and many emails and phone calls, so i imagine he sold it elsewhere and is giving me the silent treatment.
Of course during that time 2 TTR's appeared on ebay including the one above. By the time i realised what was happening with the XR they both had deposits on them.
A bit despondent i searched again at 0500 the other morning and low and behold there was a TTR that had only been listed for a few hours. Looks like a nice bike, looks to be in good order, pictures are good and it has a loads of spares but no photo's of them only a few itemised in a list. £1500 and it's 220 miles away. So i bought that one and am picking it up on Tuesday. Got the van booked, looking forward to it.
So i may be in the market for a 350 kit after re-reading the whole thread last night and this morning and catching up on the updates over the last year or so.
Yes i'll get some Phot's once i pick it all up. It could be quite a good haul. I believe the chap is retired and maybe retiring from dirt biking. I think there's a spare frame, swing-arm and all sorts of bits and pieces acquired over a number of years.
It's even got a shaved down seat which will be perfect for me as i'm not that tall. It'll help me get used to it at least and then i can add some padding for longer trips in the future. My 2019 CB500X is 830mm so i don't anticipate too many issue especially starting off with a shaved down seat.
It's a Bluey which i hadn't intended as i was looking for a raid but it looks good and i'm quite happy with the decision. No stickers on the tank or plastics but i'm more of a 'functionality over form' type of chap so not too concerned about that.
I didn't know that although i suppose it should be obvious given that you've got so much in there. I wanted to see how i go before messing too much with the geometry.
