Coke

[mikeyw64]

Whoops I did it again , Bird #3

Not quite the same bargain as Pepsi (as the blue bike has been renamed) but Coke (as she is known) was still a pretty good deal at ?999.

Yes she is higher mileage but she has been well maintained (I suspect an enthusiast has owned her at some point given the suspension, new radiator etc) and she actually feels like she is "punchier" than either of here sisters. Now whether that's down to the little Nitro X thingy (which I have I must admit always dismissed as snake oil), whether the ratios have been changed (yet to check) or whether being a 98 FI she's just more powerful

Mind you based on the colour code this one was also originally blue, was changed to Red in 03

Just out of interest, how much does the delivery of the bikes cost you?

Just asking on behalf of a friend who might be thinking about buying a Bird....;-0))

Varies, I tend to go via http://www.shiply.com/ and let people bid for the work

The more flexible you can be about pickup/delivery days/times the cheaper you can get it but you dont have to choose the cheapest, there's a feedback system.

Recently Pepsi cost me ?120 from Clacton to Bolton and Coke came in at ?85 from Sunderland to Bolton

Previously I've paid ?60 to get a CBR 600 shipped from Cambridge to Aylesbury and ?90 for a 125 from Milton Keynes to Manchester

The reason she is "punchier" is coz she is red!
