Hi Grant

I'm 6ft1 and found the monster tank really uncomfortable, which is why a lot of people replace the tank and seat ! But that definitely puts the budget up.

I think the SS is much more suitable for 6ft+

Co-incidentally, I have recently decided that mine has to go and make some space in the garage.
It hasnt been run for a year, but if you are interested I'll do a mini service and get it running.
It doesnt have fairing panels - just the front section, and a proper SS single seat unit, and is not one of these flash bikes.
I would like 1k for it, but am open to sensible offers.
It will need the new tyres to be eligible as it still has diablos on, but I can fit those at cost.
It looks something like this...

Paul Nelson (aka Cabletie on here) is also looking to sell his #24 Class B bike which is a 600SS, he's based up in the lake District so may suit someone looking to buy that lives up that way.
He told me it would be going fairly cheap in the region of £1100 (i hink thats what he said)

Reason he's selling is he intends moving up to a 620 for Class A
