    Hi, after around 14 years of honest, reliable service I've decided to sell my 1995 CB (Road bike) 

    I competed at selected rounds for a couple of seasons, both with New Era and Thundersport back in 2008-2009. The Bike was also my daily commuter at the time, which was always interesting. 

    In between racing and since, it has taken me across Europe a handful of times, taking in rounds of the Motogp in Brno and Misano, with my most recent trip on it being to Le Mans in 2018. The bike has been stood since around that time and I am in the process of rebuilding the forks, in preparation for an MOT. Before I do this and waste my time on ebay, I figured I'd see if there was any interest on here. This is certainly a project for someone, as it's a 25 year old roadbike with 80,000 miles on the clock in need of some tlc, not a race-prepped machine. 

    Ideally the bike will be sold with two sets of spare wheels, two spare engines (one with suspected head-gasket failure), a spare set of fork legs and whatever else I can find. I'm sure that I have a tank and various bits of bodywork somewhere - including an unpainted  racing seat and belly pan once I've found them. 

    Please feel free to message or call me with any questions that you may have, or to make an offer on 07557329343 (WhatsApp would work great) 
    Pics to follow once I've figured that part out. 

    Thanks, Matthew

    I forgot to say that the bike is located in Norwich.

    Ha, yes. I'm sure I wasn't the first by a long shot but I think it would be fair to say that I was one of the only ones at that time. People used to ask why my exhaust exited on the wrong side! 😁

    Well, depending on how your sale goes, I am in the market for a spare engine. Preferably one that could be dropped straight in without any rebuilding.

    There was a low milage bike down in Portrush a few weeks ago and not to expensive either. I think it was on Gumtree.
