Description from the seller
R681FBA 1998 4XV bike. Bought 2001, 1 previous owner
Original blue & white, 22391 miles
Excellent condition, frame good and straight, it has never had an accident or even an off.
Bodywork all original, clean and unmarked, maybe slight scratching from cleaning.
Seats both excellent with mesh grip cover on pillion.
No rust that I can find. It has always been stored in a dry garage & under cover.
Rotary steering damper hidden in yolk.
Non-standard parts are -
Harris gold rear-sets. Has originals present.
Replacement carbon silencer. Have original unused in a box. Rear indicators
Fazer mirrors so that I can see. Originals present
Braided lines, heavy bar ends, blue sprocket & chain, stand bobbins, fairing protectors.
Never crashed/dropped..
Temperature sender unit stopped so fitted an on/off switch, have new sender to fit
I don’t believe it has ever seen rain.
Might have been used in winter in first 2 years but not since I got it.
Ignore the tyres. They are off a IOM TT bike discarded after 1 lap I got free off a friend, they are too old now to safely use. I could never ride to wear them like that.
Petrol off at tank and tank empty for transport.
Has an alarm imobilisier. Key fob to be placed over receptor disk under right front fairing under throttle where the black circle is. The key is very sticky but will turn. There is only 1 key & 1 alarm fob.
The battery is near dead due to the alarm & me not noticing the charger being off.
Bike is regularly run & petrol tap turned off to run carbs dry. Not ridden in 3 years but starts easy. Last time ridden it was fine (other than carb petrol leak now fixed). Engine and gearbox all good. Electrics good.
Carbs recently refurbished with new jets, seals etc. because of a leak
Needs new oil.
Transport can be arranged, there are regular vans to UK & Netherlands from here. I believe it costs about 500.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
