Classickid21 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Few days till MOT little bit nervous and bit excited. alot of work went into bringing back from the dead. well today a friend of mine who i have known for many years. who is a danger hazard to the other road users. who has countless accident's rang me to explain his Honda hornet failed its Pretest MOT, VIA MAIN DEALER...he wrung to find out how much for the er500... i said i would consider taking the 600 as part ex as long as there cash my way.. so maybe next project after the er500 might be a hornet 600. Bumble bee. i told him about the front tyre but he is not too fussed, i said £1200 or near offer looking to at least get £1000 for the bike is this too much for the bike or not ? full history 2 keys low miles... but what should i accept if i take the Hornet as PX ? i am going to do it up and resell it back on. OR sell it straight on ? (waiting the long list of bad bits first before i say yes or no) Ebay was no help... prices all over place (tried to stay just with the bidded auctions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had left the bike for over a week now untouched started straight away happy days i did a finaly check. Rode it up and down the cul de sacs, stopped and started as it should no problems! Nerves kicking in i can see couple minor things for MOT front disc and tyre not yet fitted the chain set, i was advised to leave it until after the MOT I will update you all tomorrow 16.30pm is MOT time!!
