    Defected

    So its finally happened, after chasing my mates around on their LC8's I got a deal to good to turn down and now have a mint 04 Black 950 sitting in the garage.
    I took the @ for possiblely its last run on the weekend and came home not wanting to sell it , though I'm sure thats the same with most @ owners.
    So I now have to find a new owner to enjoy my @, not sure whats harder selling the @ or finding someone I trust to have her
    Its been a fun bike and been to some cool places (will forget the accident and emergency visit) but even tho I'm moving to the KTM for now I'm always a @ owner at heart and still hold out slim hope the Honda will one day give us the bike we want

    Congrat's bro, on your new(ish) bike, piccies? My only questions are:-
    Why sell the @ at all?
    Garage not big enough?

    I'm thinking of getting either a Beamer F800GS, or a KTM 950 Adventure too. However, the @ is not for sale under any circumstances, even if I have to build a small extension to the shed in the garden!

    Well I am very tempted to keep the @.

    Will get some better pics this weekend but this is one the last owner sent me for now.

    Nice bike dmc, shame about selling the @ tho. I bet the next owner will like it too, fantastic riding down your way for an @... or KTM. If you have any spares you might want dosh for, give me a shout. Let us know how the new bike goes in comparison to the @ sometime. Cheers mate.

    That's a nice KTM... I'd love to have one (and (almost) every other bike I've ever seen )

    I wonder what would happen if you kept your AT; which one would you find yourself riding most of the time?
    RD07a, reg in 2001, Black, heated grips, short screen, Scottoiler, Givi top box and panniers, DataTag, full Riky Cross crash bars, Baglux tank cover, Facet pump, mostly 200 miles to reserve and presently a lot happier since being loved up at Chad's hospital for sick ATs!

    We may be able to discuss a new home for your AT. I spend part of my year out in NZ and was thinking of shipping one out to use there. PM me if you're still thinking of selling.
