Kept my powder dry when flak came my way following my son changing his mind about selling this bike. It was a simple as that. I spent a lot of my own time putting it on here, doing a test ride and comprehensive written report about the bike for the prospective buyer, only to find my son pulled the plug at the last minute. Sometimes it happens.
Embarrassing? Certainly. More than that? Certainly not. At least two sides to every story.
Anyways, it is available for a quick sale for the reduced price of £1100. (that's very cheap for a 96 DR650SE with MOT until July 2018. It will defo need a little money spent on it (mainly a chain and sprockets) and some tidying, replacement mirrors, but will make a solid bike for little cost.
If anyone's interested and willing to take a punt despite the 'hassle; my son caused the last time - let me know. Here's the email I sent following my test ride when he removed it from sale .....

Hi *****

Mike here, I said I'd get back to you with images and my impressions from a (short) test ride.
I might have to send a few images at a time, as they're his res and might push my hotmail limit. Look out for a few emails.

Observations and impressions:
- basically, a sound enough bike for the price (probably £1250, but more about that later), with MOT, all main important things working as they should, but needs a little time and care spent on it if you're more a polisher than a rider (which I doubt)
- engine sound, no nasty noises, no leaks, nothing I can see or hear
- selects all gears easily and revs and pulls strongly throughout the box
- all electrics work with the exception of the neutral light, which doesn't come on for some reason
- brakes are 'adequate', but not strong and could almost certainly benefit from a strip down, clean and refresh (mind, I ride much newer, lighter bikes, so I might just be expecting too much!)
- suspension seems the kind of soft it should be but doesn't appear to have any faults or leaks (again, might be me comparing my bikes to a bike that is after all, 20 years old dual sport.
- wheels and rims seem ok for age, some light pitting/rusting, but sound

Faults I could see:
- clutch lever end broken (thought it was brake in my post) but functions fine
- pitting of chrome on top of forks (therefore not a big issue)
- neutral light as mentioned
- right panel has no graphics and no 'inner' liner (the original parts do, but would have cost £400+ to replace, so he made do with an original outer panel and put heat resistant liner round the bit of the silencer under it - see image)
- chain and sprockets definitely need replacing urgently. I wouldn't ride it more than a few miles with what's on it.
- general areas of corrosion consistent with a bike of this age and type (rear peg hangers/front frame leading edge/oil cooler/etc) but nothing structural or severe and most would come up fine with time and paint
- mirror stalks are 'loose' and need replacing. Cheap enough to sort new mirrors.

Other things to mention:
- Tyres are good with lots of life left
- it has a scottoiler fitted, but would need filling/priming/checking
- the mileage is 31,400 (I said around 30,000 in the post)
- some old mot's/service receipts, but patchy
- two sets of keys

As it needs new c&S kit + a few bits and pieces + tidying, I've suggested that £1250 would be a fair/good price.
That should leave you a little room for collection costs (courier/van hire?) and tidying.

Can't think of anything else at this point, but feel free to ask anything you want.
Get back to me if you want to take it further.

kind regards, Mike
