was looking at it myself, seems quite clean in pics, maybe totally different story in flesh, seems honest enough ad. thinking that the price is a tad steep for a bike that is 23 years old, could be wrong and i'm sure someone will put me right

It`ll have to be restricted anyway. A bandit shouldnt be hard to insurel. An fuggin spell properly will ya

whats the story with restricting a bike? is it hard/expensive?
and is the end result that it will then just have the same power as whatever it is restricted to?

and sound so, spelling shall be correct ta the best of my ability from now on

Power restricted to 33bhp as per licence requirements. This may also have to be done on a 250 too (not sure though). Chopper does it for around €250 I think.

Well done on the spellin. Bad enough tryin to decipher custom900`s shite

grand job.
sound well are bandits a good bike so?
theres one for sale in the shop down the road from me. a 400 and its a '92 and askin 1500.

its ivors motors in galway aswell,
have any of ye had any dealins with them? dodgy bikes, bad service, wotnot?
they give a 3 month warrenty with their 2nd hqand bikes aswell.

[Murzy]

also,
if ya restrict a 600 down to 33bhp will your insurance still be higher then if you simply bought a 33bhp bike? outa curiosity.

what do ye think of this one? Iv heard hornets are good bikes, and already learner legal so wouldnt have ta worry about restricting it.
any opinions?

Silly money for an 11 year old bike. They are beautiful though.
