As an example a dealer near me has a '97 with 36k on the clock with full luggage, tall screen, hugger and in the proper colour (that's black by the way), all for £2490 and he will have to give a warranty of sorts and you may well be able to chip him on the price too.

My advice, keep it and enjoy it.

Yeah but I need the space for other projects lol, unless I turn the bird into my track bike but its not the best basis for that.
Also Why has my post been deleted and 'member must be a sponsor to place an advert' put in its place?? it wasn't an advert????

Really ?
It had a price and bike details...
What else was it but a sneaky way to place an advert ?
Top marks for trying though.. no harm in that at all :)


Not as if it costs a fortune to become a sponsor.. £5.50 which goes towards keeping the forum advert free :)

It genuinely wasn't. It was more of a rant as I had a guy who was supposed to come view it yesterday and YET AGAIN didn't even show up.
So if I become I sponsor I don't need to faff around making 10 posts or whatever? I'd be more than happy to do that, much cheaper than an eBay advert lol

I didn't see the original post so know nothing bout the bike or price......don't get disheartened - although I believe it is a 'buyer's market' for Blackbirds if you ask as sensible price and are upfront if there are any minor issues you will move it on quickly.

I did with both of mine, albeit some time ago......ink was barely dry on the adverts and they were out the door. If you want silly money for it you might get lucky.........

Good luck!

Best £5.50 I have ever spent, sold bike for right money and it flew away ( do you like what I did there lol) then put extra's on here and nearly got as much again for said spares/extra's and got to catch up with my old mates, am gonna stay now and will happily pay my dues each year just to keep club/forum up and running.
