Who wants to buy the best value motorbike in this history of motorbikes? Probably not the right forum, and probably going to get complaints, but hey! Yamaha Diversion 900 for sale. 1995, but garaged from new and still less than 20,000 miles. That's what comes from spending all your bleedin time in Afghanistan and Iraq!! The bike is in good nick, with new tyres and new exhaust. It's been regularly serviced (FSH), and comes complete with a luggage rack and two big Givi panniers. What else? Oh, yes, heated grips, trickle charger for the battery, Datatool alarm and Datatagged. And of course it has a hassle-free shaft drive. I'll even throw in a tankbag for free. I live in Portsmouth/Southampton area of the South coast (UK) and will only be around for a couple more weeks before heading back to Iraq. Main reason for sale is emigration next year to Australia. I'm looking for £1,500, but to be honest am more concerned with seeing the old girl going to a good home. Give us a shout if you're interested.

Where can I buy a motorbike? Hello folks, Thanks for viewing my question, here it is: Where can I buy a bike? I am looking to replace my beautiful bike that was stolen last year. I want a Yamaha FZR 600 R (Genesis) in original red, white and blue. It must be 1991 or later, be in excellent condition and within 40 miles of West London. I have £1000 to buy this bike. This should be a fairly straightforward deal but all the bikes I've seen so far have had something wrong with them or have been too expensive or too far away. Ebay is out of the question - I'm not dragging myself all over the country to view bikes just to be outbid. And please don't point me to generic sales websites like biketrader or loot unless it's a link to a specific bike. Any help would be VERY gratefully received. Cheers KaiBosh
