Grouch Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If I was you Sniper I would use the time to research which bike it is you want exactly, and once you have decided (sounds like you already have) look at every option available. I personally would buy a used bike from a private buyer. Dealers are way overpriced. I got the bike I wanted for £1300, but the exact same year model was £1900 in the dealers. Also remember you will have to buy helmet, gloves, locks etc, so take that into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted August 25, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'd get a new lid etc off the dealer if your stuck on buying from them. get a knowledgeable mate and go round the private sales, this is a buyers market ATM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have all my gear from last time I had my bike so no expense there. :-) the hardest is waiting for my 'pay-out' so I can get the machine, get some miles under my ever incressing belt and do my test LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
