Returning member and owner
Hello everyone. I am delighted to be back in a 480 after 11 years! I previouly owned a white '93 ES model which I regretably sold in 2009. Now that I am in a much better position to own one, I have this. A '94 GT that is probably going to turn out to be a money pit. Gaps in the service history and s...

Spotted Red one on A6 heading towards Loughborough
Seen on Weds morning around 9am heading up the A6 towards Loughborough. Couldn't see plate, tried to catch up but some people think it's okay to do 60mph in the outside lane when there's nothing to overtake

There was a feature on Fifth Gear last week, Tim Shaw did a self service on a BMW. On top of the usual replacement filters etc, he needed a diagnostic computer and a device that reset the service light. He still saved plenty of money compared to what the BMW dealer would have charged. I'd like to gi...

Yes, the 480 is on ebay now, no bids as yet, but it's still got a few days. I have had some recommendations on a FZR600. Apparently it's an ideal first bike and cheap to insure. So I may be interested. Can you send me some full details, like how much tax/mot, what year, condition and all that. Eithe...

Ah, just found out, it now takes hours to show properly, even though the first time it was pretty much instant. Oh well!
This should be the new link to it anyway:

Not sure exactly what bike I will get. I've been looking at chopper/cruisers. I'd like something like the Yamaha Virago. I don't think I'd be comfortable on a sports bike. I'll keep watching ebay til a good deal comes along :) Oh, out of interest I tried that webuyanycar.com to see what they'd offer...

Departing the world of 480 (for now)
I've had to make a tough decision. Because of the expensive costs of fuel tax and insurance, I have decided to move to a motorcycle, as it's hell of alot cheaper than owning a 480. Now having passed my bike test, I'm all set for getting a bike, and the 480 is going to be for sale very soon. Original...
