WELCOME TO MY AUCTION OF MY MUCH LOVED VARADERO XL1000. I BROUGHT THIS BIKE BACK IN FEBRUARY 2006 IN A PRETTY SORRY STATE. SINCE OWNING IT, I HAVE RESTORED AND IMPROVED THIS BIKE AS FOLLOWS:

BRAND NEW PETROL TANK. (PREVIOUS ONE WAS SCRATCHED AND FILLED).... TALL TOURING SCREEN GIVI...NEW BATTERY....REPLACED THE REAR MUD GUARD WITH NEW ONE.....REPLACED BOTH FRONT N/S & O/S FAIRING PANELS AS THE OLD ONES WERE DAMAGED.....REPLACED THE REAR FAIRING(BECAUSE IT WAS EASIER TO RESPRAY THE LOT TOGETHER.....REPLACED THE FORK SEALS AS BOTH LEAKING..... NEW STAINLESS STEEL ALAN BOLTS THROUGHOUT THE FAIRING....... REPLACED THE TYRES LAST YEAR(STILL LOADS OF WEAR LEFT...REPLACED THE SILENCERS WHEN I BROUGHT IT WITH NEW(HAD RACE CANS WHICH WERE TOO LOUD!!SOLD ON!!!)... REPLACED THE DODGY FUEL PUMP WITH A MODIFIED ROTARY FUEL PUMP..(CHEAPER TO BUY AND EASIER TO REPLACE AND READILY AVAILABLE FROM HALFORDS). RECOVERED SEAT IN NEW FABRIC.CHAIN AND SPROCKETS REPLACED JUST OVER A YEAR AGO. I THEN TOPPED IT ALL OFF THIS YEAR AT CHRISTMAS WHEN THE WIFE PAID TO HAVE IT RESPRAYED. ALL THE PLASTICS HAVE BEEN COLOUR CODED INCLUDING THE BELLY PAN AND FRONT MUDGUARD. There is a centre and also a side stand.

THIS BIKE PULLS THE LOOKS FROM PEOPLE WHEREEVER I GO. THE COLOUR IS REALLY NICE AND LOOKS SUPURB IN THE SUN.  SO WHY AM I SELLING????????????????

I WAS STUPID AND GOT CARRIED AWAY ON ONLY MY SECOND WEEK OF RIDING IT THIS YEAR. I GOT CAUGHT DOING 106MPH... ONLY FOR 10 SECONDS MIND YOU( I NORMALLY RIDE ABOUT 60-70MPH)BUT I DID'NT REALISE AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE OF A SLIGHT ERROR IN JUDGEMENT. I ALWAYS PROMISED THE WIFE IF I EVER DID SPEED OR FELT THAT IT BECOMES TO MUCH FOR ME I WOULD SELL. I DID THE DIRTY SO HERE IT IS.

THE BUY IT NOW PRICE IS WELL BELOW WHAT I HAVE ALONE SPENT ON PARTS. IT HAS AN AUCTION SO IF YOU FEEL LUCKY HAVE A BID. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. FOR THOSE REALLY INTERESTED, BUY IT NOW. THIS IS SO UNIQUE TO THE OTHERS AND ITS READY TO GO WHEN YOU ARE.

I HAVE LITTLE HISTORY ON TEH BIKE. THERE'S NO FINANCE OUTSTANDING AND THE MOT'S I HAVE ARE AS FOLLOWS:

23.7.04... MILAGE 22514.....22.07.05

02.09.06...MILAGE 25443...01.09.07

14.09.07...MILAGE 26911...14.09.08 (AS YOU CAN SEE, ONLY 330 MILES DONE THIS YEAR SO FAR AND ONLY 1500MILES LAST YEAR)

ONLY BAD POINT IS THAT I REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT WITH A CONTINETAL ONE. ITS NOT WRONG BUT THERE IS A SMALL PATCH ON THE GLASS TO MAKE IT LEGAL FOR UK USE. IDEAL IF YOUR GOING ABROAD THOUGH. PASSED TWO MOT'S WITH IT SO FAR.

I HAVE JUST ADDED A PICTURE TO TRY TO SHOW THE COLOUR OF THE BIKE BETTER AS A FEW HAVE ASKED.

Please note the finishing time of this auction. Whoever bids and wins will need to collect by Wednesday 21.00hrs as I am flying out on Holiday for two weeks unless you want to wait. There is 30 of you watching now. A lot have asked about the reserve price so to save further questions its set well below the by it now price. Oh and it was serviced last year when it was MOT.

My Number is 07808188833. To the chap that phoned today about asking if it would be okay to ride back to Scotland. the answer is Yes and back again. i cannot see any reason for this bike not to give thousands of miles trouble free riding.
