skyrider Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 aw justarn what are you doing thats the best piece of jap iron you will ever own, just put it in the back of the shed for a couple of years then one day you will be glad you didnt sell Quote
Justarn Posted August 20, 2019 Author Posted August 20, 2019 I know mate, I will probably regret it tbh but lack of use and other interests are getting in the way. If it doesn't sell for what I want I'll keep it but if I can find someone who will cherish it like I have it's for the best I think. It gets lots of attention everywhere you go.It's like a muscle car to ride, big grin factor for sure but I'm enjoying sports bikes ATM and everyone I ride with is on sports and sports nakeds. It's hard too ride both and be able to switch back and forth, I'm now used to the slipper clutch and that can be a nightmare when back on the xjr forgetting it doesn't have one. The ninja stops on a dime, the xjr is 240kg so it's getting easy to forget what I'm riding.I've listed and removed it several times, we'll seen, definitely be sad if/when she goes. Quote
fastbob Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Sad to see you're selling mate . You don't happen to still have the original shocks do you ? I might be interested in those . Quote
Justarn Posted August 25, 2019 Author Posted August 25, 2019 Sorry pal I didn't see this, no I sold them last year matey Quote
Justarn Posted November 23, 2019 Author Posted November 23, 2019 Keeping this now, zx6r sold... Glad it didn't sell... Quote
learningtofly Posted November 23, 2019 Posted November 23, 2019 Good decision - that did sound like a lot of bike for the money Quote
Justarn Posted November 24, 2019 Author Posted November 24, 2019 Yeah it was on eBay 3 times and I ended early lol.... I can buy another zx6r, fecking lot of work to get another xjr to this spec ... Probably more money in it than 6k too Quote
fastbob Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 Good for you mate ! There's too much of yourself invested in that bike for it not to be a keeper . Quote
