I am in the process of moving house so sadly I am having to have a clear out!

This is my 600cc Diversion that I have owned for around 18 months, it has been super reliable needing only routine maintenance. It has been used almost every day in rain, snow, and gale force winds.

The bike has MOT until June 2010, it currently is Sorned however I am happy to tax the vehicle for the buyer (£46 their expense). The bike has very recently had a new rear tyre fitted and a brand new chain and sprockets. I did a routine service on it less than 200 miles ago which gave it fresh engine oil and new front brake pads (inc fresh brake fluid). The bike has partial service history and alot of old MOTS's.

The clocks read 55k miles however it has had a new engine fitted prior to me purchasing it, I was told the new engine had covered 12k miles (which would mean it has done about 20k now), the gear box is tight and it pulls really well in every gear with no nasty sounds. The previous owner was kind enough to give me the old engine as spares which is free to go with the bike should you want it.

I am selling it as a winter hack as it is not pretty, as I said it has been used in all weather, fairing has chips/scratches and one crack (in the rear seat panal), there is alsoa go faster rip in the seat which I will throw in free of charge.

The exhaust is blowing from one of the downpipes, I have purchased a new downpipe which will cure this howeverI have not got round to fitting it (and it past its MOT like this!), The speedo cable has snapped, they are £10 on ebay.

In summary:
Bike consumables : very good
Bike appearance : Poor
Reliability : Very good
Top box : Included
Ready for the winter? : Certainty
MPG : 60-65
BHP : 60ish
Insurance £80 fully comp
