I have decided to stick the beemer on ebay.... should be interesting, i have a high reserve but it is stated in the description. I cant take the chance of loseing even more money.

7 days, we guna run a book on the result.... mad1.gif

Have a look, see what ya recon !

I flogged my last bike on e bay in a week after having it advertised for 6 months in the local Freeads, Adtrader etc.
I took a huge loss over that 6 months, about a grand, I hated that GSXR 1100 in the end.

it looks good Ravin, & i dont think you could be any more honest in the description.
Not that i'm an expert or anything in these matters, but i cant help thinking if it were anything other than a BMW it might sell quicker, but then, that might just be the appeal of it!-you dont know til you try do you?
good luck M8-i hope it all goes to plan.
ZOMB!E
looks like you got a bid.....................
messymuppet
oooh, how generous, a bid of £1 !!!
ZOMB!E
Its a start! Ill see how it goes before commiting myself to another quid.
Ace
Yeh, last of the big spenders, i wonder if he noticed what the reserve is, he might think he is on to a winner... you seen the bidders user name... not you is it DP ?

477 views though, i only put it up at 3am this morning, i think it is more disbelief than interest.
ZOMB!E
Ill give you a clue Ace - IT'S ME!!!!!!!
bikerdave

BlandWit

Im with Ace on this one - I think it looks strangely appealing. It could look great with a general finish off and fancy paint job.
Ace

The ebay counter remembers those who have been there and only counts you once, cookies i think its called.

You could be right Snapdragon.... what a shocker for them.

I also thought of posting it on the BMW owners site..hahahaha.... that might disgust a few charlie uprites.. veryangry.gif

Ace if i thought my mrs would give in & let me have it
I already have
a transit minibus
my kwak GT550
& the trike when she is done
dont think she would swallow any speel i give her about another bike
mind you she is only one vehichle behind me
she has a toyota town ace mpv
& her kwak Zephyr 550
I would i love beemers I have had 4 only one of them was a K series mind the others where boxers.

I dont think you will have a prob selling it.
Ace
It is a nice bike, aside from its starter clutch there is very little wrong with it, i have a couple of plans in the brew pot;

A: If it sells stick a few hundred more and buy an FJ1200, just done some research and there is a world of mods that can be done, mainly performance and running gear, wolf in sheeps clothing... mmmm souds like fun, shame it is not a shafty though.

B: Pick up another Beemer and continue with the planed streetfighter but with out the starter probs, probably up grade to the K11 though.

C: if it dont sell, save up some cash and pay a buddy of mine to fix it for me and finnish it.

Either way i am not to fussed, but i do like the sound of the FJ though, they get rave writeups, would like an RF900 but i would have to save for too long for that.

Watch this space... well i'll probably start a new space... actualy idea32.gif ... mmm new thread brewing....
Ace
Yeehhh... 1001 views @ 2.30am. I have also added a no cheque clause to the bottom of the last pic as i have been offered cash to accept a cheque of £4000 in exchange for £100 extra if i forward the change on to an overseas account, there are some realy necky bastards out there

Couldnt add it to the add as i have bids and it wont let me update my add.
Ace
Nearly at the reserve £460 with 1381 veiws... lots of intrest, at least 15 bids, amazing, that zedzedar11 bloke is keen. Two blokes have mailed me to say they are interested and they aint no hoax, looks like we might have a bid out between them, still 2 days 3 hrs to go... wooohooo.

if only i could swap the hits for pounds !
ZOMB!E
Zezedar11 is a serious bidder!
Ace
Cool, that makes 3 confirmed bidders, things could get heated.... Would be nice to see it go to some one i know, i might get to see it finished then.

Good luck matey.
