Guns are really popular like that. Fired once at the range and they discover they don't like the "BANG!". Then get stuck in the closet till the end of days. 134 miles sounds like just enough for a couple close cage encounters and a "**** this!".

If it was sitting since 1990, wonder how long it took to clean it
The "BANG!" is the bit I like the most...But, back to the bike. It must be weird to have enough spare cash to buy new toys just like that, then just stick them in the shed. I could understand somebody selling when they realise it's not for them.

There would maybe be a couple of issues with the bike if nobody either stored it properly or started it, then ran it up to temp regularly. I doubt any of this has been done. It might look pretty on the outside, but buyer beware!! The bores could be rusted up, rings partly siezed, rusty cams...any of which could result in the motor being in worse condition than any of ours that have been run hard for heaps of kms...Just a thought.

Did you get the scoop yet Sprock?

Not yet, got tied up , work does that sometimes amazingly enough despite my
best ongoing daily efforts to avoid that scenario

has it ours tied up too and I'm too damned lazy to get my mobil outta the car

"Tied up"???? What kind of work do you do again? I'm not judging you, man..after all, it's a consumer society, supply and demand and all that. Just don't forget your 'safe' word mate

I hate it how work gets in the way of your real life....better go and do some more.

Wow, and i thought the American bikes were expensive. I paid £950 ($1400) for my 93 (linked brakes) model with 25,000 miles on the clock, and my mate Gra paid £1200 ($1800) for his 97 model with 27,000 miles on it and i thought he paid a bit too much but it's a lovely bike
I should buy them in England and ship them to the USA or Argentina, lol.
