A friend of mine is reluctantly parting with his RED 850 TDM 

43,000 miles ( approx TBC )

Price £750 

Currently on SORN, so no TAX or MOT

(£30 to be deducted from the price by the seller, for a 12 month MOT, once a firm commitment to purchase has been made *)

Contact me in the first instance  I'll arrange a viewing and provide phone numbers etc.

* A deposit of £200 will be required, either through Paypal or bank transfer, balance to be paid in cash upon collection

Photos will be available soon on my profile

The bike is in Nth Yorks nr Scarborough

Any questions feel free to ask

Grab a bargain @ £750 

                                                                                                                                                                             

Always fancied one, it's like a Japanese Ducati, how's the gearbox apparently they're a bit fragile g/box wise

I'll ask him and see RD 

Although he's the kind of guy who would have mentioned it 

Should know for certain by Sunday 

                                                                                                                                                                             

The 850's use a bit of oil but otherwise seem to be fine. The 900's are bulletproof.                                                                                                                                                                              

I can't afford one myself right now but have a mate who may be keen, that's a reasonable price IMHO.

As Steve has said above, they do seem to be quite reliable 

Neither my friend nor I have heard these tales of "fragile" gearboxes  *

To quote his response to your query .....

"Fragile ?". "What a ****". "Gearbox is fine, clunky change from new, renowned for it !" "Built like a tractor box and changes just like one". Just the way they are".

So there you have it RD, two endorsements from experienced, satisfied riders 

As stated previously, the sale is "reluctant" 

Tell your mate to snap it up quick at that price, before someone else does 

* I have a Ducati with a gearbox that's been to the dentist, but I've been assured that even that is a rarity 

                                                                                                                                                                             

Thanks Emzed, I told him about it before when he rang. He's not too well at the moment (long story) looking for something easier to ride due to his condition.

Ducati gearboxes are generally sweet provided the chain's adjusted properly, that's true of bevels and belts. The dreaded cross-over shafts on the early l/h gearchange bevels were a PITA though. Both mine converted to right foot, 1 up - 4 down.

I'm not sure my mate knows what he wants TBH, but have a bump on me.
