Is motorcycling allowed?

They should have called it the Shovelface 

 

Looks like it has a bar bag on it already.

It has been bugging me all day long as it had a resemblance to another bike, but I could just not put my finger on it.

 

Just loose the luggage bags and the massive pillion seat and you have a 1986 Goldwing .. almost...

Nice!

 

Watch the carb slide disc wear, I had one of those and it was worn, and it can get stuck wide open, a scary situation once that 250 gets on the pipe.

I don't know if you are or indeed have to be registered here to see this but this one is going for R65500.

Gee, and to think, I sold (traded in for a 790 Duke) mine for R35k and it only had 6000km on it! Didn't realize these 390's are so sought after.

Seems to be the going rate yes. Lots of low mileage examples around. That one is neat.

You do need to check them well though, lots of beginners start on them so I have seen a few now with damage from small fall overs.

Looks like a bike people move upwards from fairly quickly.

Bigger is better and all.......

How did she treat you?

I had zero issues in the two years that I owned the 390. Had fun times on it. However, like most smaller displacement bikes, after a while you're longing for something with a little more 'giddy-up-and-go'.

 

The 790, for my use, is the ultimate bike (I don't ride all that often, due to working out of country, so it still puts a massive smile on my face every time I start it!)
