1996 885 Steamer - South Staffs

Hi

Regretably I've decided to sell my steamer. For myriad reasons I think I've done around 300 miles on it this year and it seems such a waste to have it sitting doing nothing (I've had it for almost 3 years). It's a 96 on a P plate, done 22000 miles. I've just had it MOT'd (wasn't due until February but thought it would sell better with full MOT). The only advisory is a slightly loose chain (now corrected). The tax runs out at the end of Nov but I will be taxing it if it isn't sold at that point. It has loads of documented service history including (and this was one of the clinchers for me when I bought it) several services  / other work carried out at the factory as the previous owner worked in the design dept at Triumph (and apparently was working on the the Tiger). It has a Givi topbox and Triumph tank bag and I also have a touring screen, though it looked so horrible on I went straight back to the original.

I will post pics later today.


Pics now attached.

I'm starting off at £1850, though this is open to negotiation.

Either PM me on here or please e-mail me:  nprice2302@tiscali.co.uk

That looks like an Ohlins shock on it as well, rare!
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
