Hi guys what's your thoughts on the following?
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172504778978 It looks in good nick with good milleage. No carbon wings on the front nose cone though, did the early ones not have them? |

I`m sure someone on here got in touch to tell the seller it was
a 2000 R and not what he said it was ... I`m sure he said he would change the add .. but I`m old and one of my years is only 6 months |

If you find us in a hedge check the bike first please .. I`m free on the NHS...

This has definitely been done before, someone on here was going to look at it. Think the thread was titled something like 'help, about to do a deal on eBay' or similar

Me I'd try and stretch the budget to a black framed and swinger radial brakes 03 ...I say this and could have done it but spent all the money rebuilding my mille with an £800 front end,£1000 exhaust system ,1060 engine etc etc ha ha |

[/QUOTE] the price is probably at the top for that year but if it's as clean as it looks and low mileage and looked after and it's what you want go for it .

I think I'll hang fire and try to find a later one. The ears make quite a difference to the appearance. Cheers all. |

That looks a genuine rsvr 2000 model that has had a dual seat fitted. Being a square I collect the brochures , here is a copy of the 2000 brochure It has the right brakes the decals are the same and in the right order for the year, the only thing is the ohlins decal is different but could be normal manufacturing changes. So buy a brochure for the year if you are interested (cheap on ebay) they are wonderful quality ! |

hey redrat are you happy with the money you have spent on your bike is it a gen1 the reason i ask is i have a 2000 gen1 and love the look of it and was thinking doing same as you spend money on it gen2 ohlin front gen2 swinger if thats possible and maybe bigbore at some point but all the will probly bout 4k so i thought i could sell mine ad a couple k and get a gen2 factory that way i get the ohlins and a bit more grunt and save meself bout 2k only thing is i not keen on the looks of em looks more of a sports tourer apart from the black frame 03 if you did it again would you still go the same root you have taken having said that when i got the mille it was going to be the last bike i buy and keep it
cheers simon

It has the pegs fitted in this photo, and twin exhausts, the bike is 17 years old so will have had many owners and many modifications, a bit like triggers broom lol I bought a 2001 rsv r mille 3 weeks ago, no rust or crashes and sensible mods. Just saving for the pipe mod and full service. Was 10 miles away advertised on Gumtree by a very nice guy who had owned it for 9 years. There is very little difference between a 2000 or a 2001 etc just buy the best that you like ! |
