Yes, I went from a 400cc to a 1300cc just like that. Mad? Yes. Irrational? Yes. Loving it? Yes!
I've been maxi scootering for at least 8 years now and felt it's time for a change. As some of you might remember here, i was interested in deauvilles for some time, and almost px'ed one for the burgman when i saw this beast.
I was looking for anything with good reliability and shaft drive within a reasonable budget and until i came across the FJR, deauville seemed to fit the bill. It was the sensible choice but didn't make my heart pumping as this!
It's a 2001 model with only 20600 miles under its belt, came with FSH, long MOT and TAX, two new tyres and a recent service. It's got all yamaha luggages and electric screen as standard.
It popped up on ebay 5 miles from my house on sale by a trader, went to see it after work thursday and the rest is history
Chopped in the burgman which I got a good deal for (£2500 px) and paid £1500 on top of it.
There is a bit more history about why I made up my mind to get rid of the burgman, but that'll be another topic another day. Let's just say i didn't like the fact that i was stranded twice in two years due to electrical issues from what essentially was a 2 year old bike. Remembering my old 10 year old tmax never being unreliable, i knew i had to get out of Suzuki ownership.
Regardless of the bike change, i'll always be a muppet as i've been in the past, so you lot won't get rid of me that easily
